There are various modules out there that require configuration files to be made/updated. Net::FTP and CPAN spring into mind. That seems to work quite well from the make process (although sometimes it's deferred to first usuage). As for the oh so scary make process (all you need to do is copy and paste the instructions from the README file, but I guess you assume some people are too afraid to do so), there's the CPAN module which is a wrapper around this scary make process. It will even take care of dependencies for you!
