The first thing to do is to make sure that all the files that you want packaged are listed in the Manifest file.
Then you can use make to create a distro as follows:

    perl Makefile.PL
    make
    make dist
[download]

If you have tar and gzip in your path you will end up with a file like this: My-Package-version.tar.gz.

Also, have a look at the manpage for ExtUtils::MakeMaker, there are some other interesting make options for distributions including the all important distcheck.
