I wouldn't want a script to install *anything* in my /usr/bin.

If it's a short example I would put it in the pod documentation.

If you want to have it installed,

/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.6/Net/eBay/examples might be a good place

or

/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.6/Net/eBay/eg

or

/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.6/Net/eBay/demo

(after a look at my C:\Perl)
