Personally, I think a full distribution of Perl built-in is perfect.

In my environment we use Perl (Classic MacPerl actually) to distribute
various utilities used for our build/version control process. Although we
keep complete MacPerl installation instructions on hand (including what to
install from CPAN, etc.) essentially all of my users use the prebuilt
MacPerl standalone applications we provide.

Without going into too much detail, this means we are already used to
dealing with packaging our own Perl modules into our (large) distribution.

As we look to the OS X port of our utilties (waiting mostly on the Carbon
port of Mac::AppleEvents being done by Chris Nandor) my biggest concern has
been how to simplify the installation process for my users. Distributing as
a single CamelBones bundle has the potential to solve that problem
completely for me.


Thanks,

Alex
