Yes, and there are several ways to do it, including ones that I think are called PAR and PPM, but they should be able to build on the work we've done with Makefile.PL and they really need to be built on a stable release. However, some of the modules involve compiled code will be different on each binary platform. Also, some systems (debian, Fedora, Strawberry Perl, more?) have their own ways of bundling modules together which avoids having multiple maybe-incompatible versions on the system at the same time. Hopefully they can build on Makefile.PL too and we don't have to keep updating INSTALL.debian, INSTALL.fedora and so on forever: those files mostly suck time and should slowly die.
