The basic idea is to package it up and have your users install it just like all other modules: perl Makefile.PL; make; make test; make install. If you use, for example, Module::Install's auto_install, this will cause all the prereqs to be installed, too.

If you want even simpler, you could write a wrapper script which downloads the tarball, runs the untar commands, and then runs perl Makefile.PL, etc., for the user. That's not too hard on unix/linux - but may be a bit more work on Windows, since Windows doesn't come with handy things like wget or tar or gzip, and requiring things like LWP kind of defeats the idea. But your script could install LWP and Archive::Tar and such before downloading your tarball by using ppm, I think, though I've never tried.
