Jenkins - is well known continues integration server. One of it's great features - one may extend it by writing custom plug-ins. Recently I have created one plug-in to build and make distributive of perl applications.

It implements standard build scheme:

• cd to source directory
• install dependencies from source directory into local directory
• and optionally create distributive from source directory

Other features are:

• find 'tagged' directory with maximum version number ( implementing install from subversion tags )
• applying different patches ( install other cpan modules )
• both Makefile.PL and Build.PL are supported
• colour output
• and some others ...
