Please see my answer to swl for more general info Re^2: PAR::Packer shebang + PAR::Heavy missing

You're right, I'm kind of targeting users between (1) and (2). I'm currently playing around with the PerlPowerTools, but on the long-term I'd like to find a way, as you say, to "share code within my organization or close affiliates". Most of them having - at best - basic command line knowledge and all of them having zero Perl knowledge (bad press excepted).

I'd like to thank all of you for the time taken, and the quality of your answers. It's really nice to get help and hear other experiences.
