One other route you can take is to use PAR it enables you among other things to use and incluse large portions of your code from web servers or ftp servers. I think it can be setup to cache the includes locally and just update on change as well. It may be worth a look for you. From the relevent parts of the docs:

On-demand library fetching

With LWP installed, your can use remote PAR files:
 use PAR;
 use lib 'http://aut.dyndns.org/par/DBI-latest.par';
 use DBI;    # always up to date!


Modules are cached under $ENV{PAR_TEMP}

Auto-updates with LWP::Simple::mirror
Download only if modified

Safe for offline use after the first time

May use SIGNATURE to prevent DNS-spoofing



Makes large-scale deployment a breeze

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
