You could also use cpan's autobundle feature:
% perl -MCPAN -e shell
cpan> autobundle
Then get the systadmin to mail you the file. The snapshot built by
autobundle is very useful as you can then use that to get cpan to
install all the modules on another machine for you.
To see how CPAN build's the snapshot, you can look at the "autobundle"
subroutine in CPAN.pm
simran.
