While trying to bring my skills to the next level I found out about automated testing, using code repositories and other nice things. And there are bunch of sources of info about those.

But I wasn't able to find (any) info on automating the deployment of the applications.

Just before I started writing my own build/install script - I just wanted to if there are any hints/articles/cpan module that would help in the process.

I'm also not sure if I understood the whole thing right. Basicaly I was thinking to simply export project from the Subversion repository (by hand) copy it to the destination computer and have the script build/install required modules. Modules would be included in the distribution - and installed localy - just for that application ussage.

It's easiest that way since applications are web based, and most of people installing them would only have shared hosting.
