in reply to Distributing code to 100's of servers
Assuming that your target machines have the standard make infrastructure installed (Unix and Linux should, Windows can be made to, particularly if you've installed Strawberry Perl), you can then use the standard CPAN toolchain to update your target machines from your central repository.
One of the nice things about this solution is that each machine can keep track of its own dependencies. So if you need a particular script, the installation process will figure out and handle all of the modules you also need to install.
I don't remember the full details to make it work, but he has an article about it in the current issue of The Perl Review. (Yes, this requires a subscription. But you'll be getting access to a useful Perl resource.)
