Interestingly, I was just considering this very problem and related ones -
how to get (effectively) healthy chunks of the EC onto various somewhat
resistant servers :D ("Well, we'd like to use Moose, but it involves
installing lots of stuff. If you were using Java...")

What technologies are available to us for this? cpan, cpanp, PAR, local::lib?
I'm guessing one of the main drivers is that it should require as little
installed s/w as possible?
