After looking at Module::Loader, your usecase is probably not uncommon.
Also I understand now what ActiveState's perlapp option "--add Module::**"
is good for :) So I just added the following option to pp:
=item B<-N>, B<--namespace>=I<NAMESPACE>
Add all modules in the namespace into the package,
along with their dependencies. If C<NAMESPACE> is something like C<Foo::Bar>
then this will add all modules C<Foo/Bar/Quux.pm>, C<Foo/Bar/Fred/Barnie.pm> etc
that can be located in your module search path. It mimics the behaviour
of "plugin" loaders like L<Module::Loader>.
This is different from using C<-M Foo::Bar::>, as the latter insists
on adding C<Foo/Bar.pm> which might not exist in the above "plugin" scenario.
You may specify C<-N> multiple times.
Cheers, Roderich
