Thanks for the suggestion, but my problem is not to have a self-contained package that can be installed even without network, but only a very simple hack to spare me the pain of having to deal with manually installing dependencies.

I probably should have clarified that my problem is not providing a convenient installation for other people but rather to make it comfortable for me to install it on several machines, all of which have access to cpan.

So I'll probably just add some CPAN->install statements ...
