complex perl packages and dependencies

[brook%biology.nmsu.edu@localhost (Brook Milligan)]

I have some Perl packages that need making, but they have long lists
of CPAN dependencies.  Are there any tools for aiding the process of
tracking them down and making the necessary packages?  It seems that
many of the Perl packages are pretty much boilerplate, but tracking
everything down is incredibly tedious.  For me, that has been a
significant stumbling block preventing progress for this set of
packages.

What is the best way to proceed?

Cheers,
Brook
