What happened to the CVS Build System listed on CVS Bubbles under "related

I am looking for a nice way to handle build control for a bunch of perl
modules.  I can't help but think there are some really good solutions out
there, Unfortunately I'm having no luck finding anything on CPAN, perl.com,
perl man pages, Oreilly Perl texts, or even on the CVS related pages.  The
broken link above looks promising from its title.

For now I am performing builds by manually exporting a release tag from CVS
and then doing the usual perl Makefile.PL, make, make test, make install
for every module in the release.  I have set up my module definitions file
in CVS to ensure that any executables belonging in /usr/local/bin are
placed in a special directory during export.  There has got to be a better
way to do this then rolling a whole bunch of custom code and learning from
my own mistakes when I could be taking the advice of others who have surely
done this before.  I am hoping to find some tools that provide nice build
histories, incremental builds, an easy way to roll back changes, etc.

Please copy me via email on any reply to this newsgroup, since I may miss
the post otherwise.  Any guidance is greatly appreciated.  Really good
thorough answers may even receive a free Nerf gun.
