I don't think there is a need for a separate package just for the script that launches the app. After all the whole script might be just use Net::CircleIRC; Net::CircleIRC->run(@ARGV); just add the script to the main package and configure Makefile.PL/Build.PL so the script will be installed in some bin directory. Which namespace you use and how you package it is up to you. There is http://search.cpan.org/dist/ack/ and http://search.cpan.org/dist/Padre just to show other examples. OTOH I'd probably create a stand alone package as well and distribute it via some other method for the few who still don't use CPAN...
