I like the option you suggest yourself, svsingh.

Not only does this accomplish the desired result of sharing the script among your team, it has the secondary effect of leaving team members with a functional Perl environment. So, perhaps a couple people will think "Hey, this is neat but...it would be better if..." and then start coding. Or maybe they think of another CUFP and get started that way--this is how I got started with Perl.

With any luck, since your manager feels the script is useful and wants you to share it, (s)he will also be understanding if you spend a little time helping get everyone up and running. Here we have the added benefit that both you and the people you help will learn something useful. (I recently wrote a script for a friend and, in the process of getting his machines set up to run Perl and the requisite mods, we both learned a lot and had a good time.)

++ to you!
