I run IndigoPerl which comes with a binary version of Apache. Anyway, it comes with a nifty little perlscript embedded in a bat file that goes something like:

@rem = '--*-Perl-*--
@echo off
if "%OS%" == "Windows_NT" goto WinNT
perl -x -S "%0" %1 %2 %3 %4 %5 %6 %7 %8 %9
goto endofperl
:WinNT
perl -x -S "%0" %*
if NOT "%COMSPEC%" == "%SystemRoot%\system32\cmd.exe" goto endofperl
if %errorlevel% == 9009 echo You do not have Perl in your PATH.
goto endofperl
@rem ';
#!perl
# dpm.pl V0.04 Dynamic Package Manager
# Copyright (c) 2000 Indy Singh/IndigoSTAR Software all rights reserve
+d



BEGIN {
    $| = 1;
    open (STDERR, ">&STDOUT");
}


use strict;
use ExtUtils::Install ();
use Config;
use File::Path; # mkpath, rmtree

Anyway, that nifty little perlscript is much like Win32 ActivePerls ppm(Perl Package Manager) and takes the hassle out of managing your perl modules/packages. You should be able to adapt it to whatever environment you're using since alls it needs is write permission ;)

You can check out my review here to get an idea how it(dpm) works. They even included a 'GUI'(browser) front end for it.

Update: on Fastolfe point,
why don't you just build the exact replica of your 'production' machine, develop 'your film' and then just switch the cable's.
