renodino has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

I searched CPAN, but am not certain what sort of search terms to use, so hopefully someone here has an answer:

I'm looking for a module/tool to bundle up the various resources for a web app (images, javascript, css, static HTML, etc. files) so they can be installed/used as general Perl modules. I've done this "by hand" in the past by just MIME64'ing image files and embedding them into heredocs or DATA sections with accessor functions, but thought there might be a better packaged solution ?

Specifically, I'd like to be able to specify certain file qualifiers as text to be minified, others to be embedded as is, and others to be MIME64'd, then point the tool at a directory tree and let it suck in everything, generating appropriate wrappers as needed.

Any pointers much appreciated.
