How to distribute perl program?

gabiteodoro has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

I created a perl script that calls other perl scripts and some .sh scripts. I needed to install several CPAN modules and some through Makefile.PL. Now I want to make my program available to others, but I did not want them to have to install those modules manually. Do you have any way to do that? Preferably a simple way. (Sorry if the question is stupid, but I'm new to Perl programming)

Hello gabiteodoro and welcome to the monastery and to the wonderful world of Perl! You may be interested to this post and this little program. Also PAR::Packer and his `pp` program can be useful. I have a lot of links about on my homenode. Also cavapackager was an option (still maintained?). happy packaging!

That sounds like a job for App::FatPacker to me. It won't help if they need to install a specific shell, however.	[reply]
