I suppose necessary information is already there. We just need to define the metric(s), or "Anything that can be used independently" a bit more clearly.
1) .pm file may not have extra indexable packages (the ones that don't correspond with the path to the .pm file) at all? (though I believe it's too strict)
2) .pm file may have some extra indexable packages as long as they are children? (lib/Foo/Bar.pm may have Foo::Bar::Baz as well, but may not have Foo::Baz, Bar::Foo etc)
3) or anything else? (such as prohibiting multiple packages in a stricter sense, or only .pm files in dual-life dists should be considered (CPANTS ignores core-only packages as it doesn't analyze "perl" distributions), etc)
