The various installers (ExtUtils::MakeMaker, Module::Build, and Module::Install) all have a 'dist' command. That is the command that goes about making the distribution as if it was going up on CPAN. In all three, you can override that dist command to do an interactive set of yes/no questions and to take the name of the distro. I'd recommend Module::Install, but Module::Build would work nicely. EUMM, btw, sucks.
