There are some general "how to write a CPAN-style distribution" documents going around, but I don't know how well they cover applications specifically.<br><br>There are some generic File::* modules that will tell you where things like configuration files or home directories live in a sort-of OS-independent manner (some are not well-named on CPAN, for example, the
FreeDesktop.org-related modules.). Others will help you to manipulate things like permissions in a simularly sort-of OS-independent manner. <br><br>The Perl module-authors mailing list may be a good place to ask:<br><br>

I don't suppose anyone has any pointers or books they could lend me that<br>explains how to write CPAN-style module distrbutions which do things<br>like that? It doesn't seem to be something directly supported by the
