You could possibly have a CGI script for file uploads.

If such a module is avalible on the system Archive::Tar would make things easy. Otherwise you would have to pipe data through tar and gunzip with IPC::Open2 or if that is unavalible using temporary files.

Once you have the archive unpacked you could possibly (still within the upload cgi) run make within that directory.

Then you could move that directory to where you want it, and use lib dir

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.
