... and once your scripts, configuration files, etc. are documented in pod, pack everything as a perl module for easy distribution and installation, i.e.:
# create a new module skeleton: $ h2xs -AXn My::App ... $ cd My-App # remove unused lib directory and the module skeleton inside $ rm -Rf lib # create dirs for binaries and documentation $ mkdir bin $ mkdir pod # and move your files there $ mv .../my-scripts.pl bin $ mv .../my-docs.pod pod # recreate the MANIFEST $ rm MANIFEST $ perl Makefile.PL $ make manifest # and update the Makefile.PL to install the scripts # and manual pages automatically: $ vi Makefile.PL
(read the documentation for EXE_FILES, MAN1POD and MAN3POD inside ExtUtils::MakeMaker).
# test that everything works $ perl Makefile.PL && make $ su root$ make install $ man my-script # and pack it $ make dist
