It's up to you.  I set up the barebones repo and added you on to push/pull/admin, you should be able to push to it whenever you are ready:

Specifying inheritance from a BioPerl module is a bit trickier, you'll have to wrap the module via MooseX::NonMoose.  Beyond that, I think if you stick with using is-a/has-a based relations for the time being when defining interactions with other BioPerl modules you'll be fine.
