As far as I'm aware, there aren't yet any end-to-end tools for building
applications that install from CPAN.  However, I understand that Adam
Kennedy (among others) is actively (if not continuously) working on this
sort of thing.  His use.perl.org journal is probably a reasonable place to
start investigating what's available:

  http://use.perl.org/~Alias/journal

Or if this isn't helpful, then, uh, sorry about that.
