I have a general question that should be either obvious or a huge hassle.

I have a chunk of code (system health scripts) that I need to run, which have a bunch of pm files, which in turn also have a tree of modules. Of course the PMs are scattered all over the filesystem.

I need to run these scripts on machines that won't have the same file structure/OS every day. The working assumption is that perl will be available regardless.

I was wondering if there was a way to turn the code into one big chunk of a perlcode, bytecode, or executable. that doesn't need pm's to be in some specific spot to work. pretty much I want to scp the file to a location and run it.

I'll need a reasonable method to re-pack as the scripts backends are changing. As the code might need a new pm that is a few levels deep in the tree.

Thank you for your patience.
