I have not unpacked your example, but have several distributions which
work on CPAN.
e.g. perl/Tk
which has Text and Canvas (etc.) as sub-modules
Structure is
/Tk/Tk.pm
/Tk.xs
/Makefile.PL
/Text/Text.pm
/Text/Text.xs
/Text/Makefile.PL
...
i.e. each module's .pm and .xs are in a sub-directory named for the module
with its own Makefile.PL
