in reply to creating an installation script

What you want to achieve is something like this:

perl Makefile.PL make make test make install

The good news is that you probably have everything you may need. Just read ExtUtils::MakeMaker::Tutorial

I also suggest that you install Module::Starter and use it to start a sample project; take a look on the generated code and see how easy it is to write a Makefile.PL and basic tests.

    Is ExtUtils::MakeMaker appropriate for packaging a complete application or only for modules?

    I wish to make an easy to use installation script for a perl/tk GUI frontend that is comprised of a .pl file, a .pm, some data files and it needs some external programs.

    I currently have some problems installing sdist, par and pp (some error while making), so I was not able to try them yet.
