[Columbus-pm] source organization

Does anyone know of any resources on source organization.   I spend a
crazy amount of effort just organizing my code, folders and
documentation.  Some languages are easier than others.

What's your favorite source code layout and why?   Do you use the same
layout for something large vs. small ?

For modules, most use something like the following:
AModule
--MakeFile.PL
--Todo
--Makefile
--blib
----arch
----man*
----lib
----script
--lib
----AModule
--inc
----Test
----Module
----Something.pm
--t
----test.t
----all.t

However, I think there is a lot more variety in perl programs than modules.

A program may use something like below:

AProgram
--README
--LICENSE
--conf
--doc
--lib
--files
--scripts
--src

Sorry, I probably didn't choose the best characters to represent a
directory structure.
