I'd like to ask a few questions just to clarify the purpose of your plugin.

The idea is that you have a tar.gz ready somewhere that is to be installed on the production server, and that you always install it via a full build cycle. (This isn't at all a bad idea; I've worked at a place that did this for their whole stack - just clarifying).

First question: why not save the tar.gz files as Jenkins build products? This would be easier than managing them yourself.

Second question: why have this plugin do the dependency checking instead of using a Makefile (even a Makefile generated by looking at the Perl dependencies)?

Third question: what's the win over a few lines of shell script to do the same thing?
