Yes, Module::Starter.  It does everything The Andy Way.  Then, RJBS came
along and added a bunch of templating and extensability to it.

But right out of the box, you can say

  module-starter --module=Basset --author="Jim Thomason" \
      --email=jimbo at jimandkokasworldoffun.com

and have a working distro, with starter tests and everything.
