in reply to modular app development - where do your modules live?

The benefit of using the standard CPAN way of packaging modules makes it easy to relocate them not only around one system but also between systems where you need to keep track of dependencies. Also I don't usually install the modules when doing development so I don't lose the time for make install (but I do make test and from time to time also make disttest).
