I'd like to suggest that perlootut and perlobj provide a good model for this. The perlootut docs basically skip all of the "how OO works in Perl" in favor of describing a few popular and useful CPAN modules. Then perlobj provides comprehensive reference docs for how OO works in Perl. Similarly, I think perlnewmod should describe the _easiest_ solutions for new authors (module-start and minilla?), with as little documentation of EUMM, Makefile.PL, and other things as is feasiable. A separate document describing more of the guts of the toolchain and CPAN would be a great companion piece. Obviously, this is a lot of work to do, and based on my experience with the OO docs it'll take a few rounds of review to make everyone happy. That said, I think it was worth it and I'm pretty happy with the end result.
