This post: http://driesvints.com/blog/using-laravel-4-model-events/

Shows you how to set up event listeners using the "boot()" static function inside the model:

class Post extends eloquent {
    public static function boot()
    {
        parent::boot();

        static::creating(function($post)
        {
            $post->created_by = Auth::user()->id;
            $post->updated_by = Auth::user()->id;
        });

        static::updating(function($post)
        {
            $post->updated_by = Auth::user()->id;
        });
    }
}

The list of events that @phill-sparks shared in his answer can be applied to individual modules.
