If an app is just an executable in /usr/bin (or equivalent) and some modules, then EU::MM and M::B both support that just fine and always have. What's generally missing is a place like /etc or /usr/lib or /opt to store other non-code non-executable stuff, simply because it's difficult to automatically determine where to put it. Certainly not an insurmountable obstacle, but so far it's been enough of a barrier. -Ken
