Exactly as it is at the minute - continue allow perl modules to share directory ownership. I think the "Multiple packages own files in a common directory but none of them needs to require the others."[1] rule would cover it. In general, module A::B::C doesn't necessarily require A::B (or even A). There's a fair number of App:: modules, but nothing that could be considered the unique owner of /usr/share/perl5/App directory. Same goes for Data, HTML, Task, XML, and plenty of others. The guidelines should probably be updated to clarify this.
