Have you tried the CPAN shell - it has an autobundle command that allows
you to create a snap shot of all your installed modules, and then all
you need to do is install that bundle via CPAN shell on your new
machine.
As for the creating a collective one - I feel that apart from the Apache
bundles you may find little common ground on what people use.
Hope that helps
