The following module was proposed for inclusion in the Module List:
modid: Module::Split
DSLIP: Rdpfp
description: Split multi-class modules into subclasses
userid: BURAK (Burak Gürsoy)
chapterid: 2 (Perl_Core_Modules)
communities:

rationale:
Module::Split splits multi-class modules into its subclasses. Each
file and folders for subclass will be generated if necessary. This
can be good if you want to examine such huge modules like Perl::Tidy
for example. The module will remove any pod documentation in the
specified module before splitting.
Actually it searches for 'package' declarations and uses the data
under it as the class content untill it finds another 'package'
declaration. And then creates it as a module file. It removes any
pod data before parsing the module data to remove fake 'package'
declarations.
You can pass a file path or class name to the module function
module_split($module,$output_dir). If you pass a class name, it will
search @INC directories.
I've searched cpan but couldn't find a similar module and I'm not
sure about the "Name of the module" and "Module List Chapter" parts.
Suggestions are welcome.
Sample output with the debug enabled:
split_module("Module::Split","out") or die "Error:
$Module::Split::err";
