Since there hasn't been any further discussion for a day or so, I have
published Mac-Pasteboard-0.000_01 to CPAN. I suspect you'll need to
download by package name (WYANT/Mac-Pasteboard-0.000_01.tar.gz I
think; at least, WYANT is the right CPAN username) if you're using the
'cpan' script.

I think it's too early to make an announcement; maybe at the 0.001
version. And use.perl.org seems like pretty fast company for something
as piddling as a single-OS interface module. I typically haven't done
announcements even to comp.lang.perl.modules, and in this case I
should think announcement to perl.macosx would be sufficient, even if
it weren't redundant.
