To solve 1 I would suggest doing what most of the App::* modules do.  Put all
the logic into the .pm file and make the program a thin wrapper around it.
App::Ack for example.  https://metacpan.org/release/ack  This is far simpler
to write for, use and test.

For 2 you can use App::Fatpacker to generate the stand alone version.  This is
what cpanminus does.  The advantage is you are not limited to a single .pm
file and it handles dependencies.
