We have a new build and distribution tool called 'Shipwright.' It basically takes the pain out of distributing perl applications with all their dependencies. (It also lets you version the dependencies, build relocatable binary distributions with one command and actually imports packages and their dependencies into version control with a single command).

So, this is what Hiveminder's Shipwright repository looks like. It took me 3 commands to check all of these into version control
