Sorry maybe there was a misunderstanding, apologies I meant never seeing for example an application written in Perl that you download and install and during the setup it automatically fetches PAR files of all the CPAN dependencies it needs and puts these somewhere that then when I run the application it just magically knows where and how to load these.
But later in this thread it was made clear why no one would do it this way because you would need to create .par files for each supported version of Perl and for each platform for that dependency... pain in the neck :)
