I've been given the task of configuring a client's machine to run our "Cures-The-Common-Cold" web application. Since this is a very large task, we ended up using a lot of code from CPAN. Except, the client is paranoid and won't let this machine talk to the "Big Bad Outside World". Only my machine is allowed to talk to it from outside their DMZ.

While I am more than willing to hand-follow all the dependencies for the various CPAN modules we need, I'm positive that someone has run into this before and has a solution. What I need is a script that will create a tarball of all the CPAN distros I list (given a Perl version), including all their dependencies, then provide a script within that tarball to install them in the right order (dependencies first).

My criteria for good software:
  1. Does it work?
  2. Can someone else come in, make a change, and be reasonably certain no bugs were introduced?
