I have a project for someone where I'm putting in a TT2 CGI and 3 custom modules that it uses. Following the POD for ExtUtils::MakeMaker, ExtUtils::MakeMaker::Tutorial, and reading Makefile.PLs from other modules I've been able to put together a Makefile that takes care of installing the CGI and the 3 new modules.

What I'm stuck on is how to bundle the prerequisites which are not in the 5.8.3 core. The client's clients may not have the connection or the expertise to use the cpan shell to install them, so I need to bundle them with my stuff.

I think I could just put all the extras into my /lib dir and treat them just like the custom ones but this seems weird and difficult--have to move all the test files into /t also and merge all the Makefile.PLs into one(?). So I'd love to find a better/simpler way if there is one. I looked around quite a bit and couldn't find recommendations for how to do it. Please forgive me if I missed something obvious.

Limitations: I cannot use PAR, it needs to be simple and preferably one step along with my 3-module-1-CGI tarball. These are the non-core modules: 

requires:
    Date::Calc:                    0
    Template:                      2
    URI::Escape:                   0

Thank you for looking at it!
