The autobundle command of CPAN would give you a bundle file that lists of all the modules you've installed on system A. Then you can take that bundle file over to system B and install it using CPAN. Your bundle may end up with a lot of extra modules that your program doesn't need, but you can edit the bundle file and remove them. Or maybe you could see if you can get a profiler (like Devel::NYTProf) to tell you which modules are loaded when you load and run your module. -- C. Chad Wallace, B.Sc.
