Another advantage of using CPAN packagaing standards for code that's not going to CPAN is that it's really easy to create packages for deploying the code on Debian/Ubuntu (and presumably RPM-based distros' too - I don't know). The dh-make-perl utility takes a CPAN tarball and creates a .deb package.

  Thanks, that's a good point. I discussed this idea during my talk and like it a lot, but unfortunately you wouldn't know that from the slides alone.
  I dislike posting slides because they don't capture everything mentioned during a talk, but I post them anyway because I figure they're better than nothing.
