Sorry for the confusion, actually i am interested in how to create installation package on one machine, then install into certain directory of multiple servers without running 'perl Makefile.pl; make; make install'

Ah, it is becoming clearer what you want. So you are interested in doing an install on a development box, and replicating the install onto other machines.
In the Unix world, tar is your friend. It can reproduce whole directory trees in one go. The same principle applies in a windows environment, as the likes of winzip can handle tar archives.
Try the following:
cd
mkdir newlib
cd (package build directory)
perl Makefile.PL LIB=~/newlib
make
make test
make install
cd ~/newlib
tar cvf ../myDistro.tar *
cd ..
gzip myDistro.tar
Now on the target machine, use gunzip and tar xvf to put the files in place.
This will work if the machine architectures are the same, or if the package is pure perl.

Thank you very much.
This idea is not only pratical and each solution.

Write a shell script that will copy the files created by the installation process to the right places.
Caveat - make sure that the target systems are of the same OS, OS version, have the same Perl version, and everything was built by the same compiler (both name and version). Otherwise, you might have compatibilty issues. (Yes, compiler can make a very big difference.)
