I've got the same problem: I'm admin for some clients and servers running debian and ubuntu.

For the perl scripts I wrote I need cpan modules and some self-written modules (which are still often edited) on every machine. I ended up installing them on a nfs share that is mounted to every client so that I have only one location to install my modules. So far at least for the pure perl modules.

For cpan modules I try to use (debian|ubuntu)-packages containing the cpan modules I need, like libconfig-general-perl or libpod-simple-perl. But these packages don't exist for every cpan module. But until today I found all I needed there.

After I read your article I hope I can give PAR a try when I am less busy. Sounds neat and perhaps it will be enough for my needs.
