In today's world of collaborative software development, it makes sense that the next generation of Perl module creation utilities should facilitate a group of developers working on a single module or set of modules. Module::Store currently lacks this functionality.

Thanks in advance for any work towards implementing this.

The included changes add support for multiple authors to Module::Starter and propogate to the chosen builder option. To do this, it seemed appropriate to remove the --email option and ask that users' specify both the author name and email as a single option, which most of the builders expect anyway:

    module-starter --module=Foo::Bar,Foo::Bat \
        --author="Andy Lester <[email protected]> \
        --author="Sawyer X <[email protected]>

The attribute that previously held the author, `$self->{author}` now holds an arrayref of authoremails. Which are passed in turn to Module::Build and ExtUtils::MakeMaker as arrayrefs and to Module::Install as a string.

I tried to follow the existing conventions that were used within the module, but please let me know if I missed anything and/or there are other change you would like me to make.
