I will now be playing with the results a bit. I have attached the
script, in case you might want to use it in documentation or examples.
For now, all the mods are hardcoded. No arguments and so on.

Again, Thanks!

There is a slight problem with this merging approach. The path names
are as they are/were in the submodules. In module_a, foo.pl was without
a leading module_a/ path, and now after integration, it still is. Is it
possible to rethink this whole process that integrates/merges the
several git repo's in subfolders into the current folder, as-if they
would have been in this folder in the first place?

I would suggest re-reading Santi's suggestions:

You have, basically, two possibilities:

1) Add the module_# as submodules:
  http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/docs/git-submodule.html
  http://git.or.cz/gitwiki/GitSubmoduleTutorial
2) Add the submodules as subtrees (as gitk and git-gui in git.git)
  http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/docs/howto/using-merge-subtree.html

I think the latter is specifically what you want.

I got stuck in that process, as the new repo thinks all the files from
the sub-folders belong to the top-folder: After this process, there are
a lot of files from subfolder include in the "new" top-level folder.
