What i would do is:
make an spec file for the perl modules you made, as well as the program
you coded. Your setup scripts could be embedded in the SPEC file, so that
to deploy your app, all you need is to rpm -ivh. Later on rpm -Uvh makes
it a lot easier to upgrade the files if you do make changes.
If you take the time to study how to make RPMs, you will be rewarded in
the future by very trivial maintenance and upgrade procedures.
