Yes, you can just ZIP up the PDK install directory and prune it to the
files you need.

For PerlApp on Unix this is probably just

  bin/perlapp
  lib/pdkcheck-5.x

For PerlApp on Windows you need

  bin/perlapp.exe
  bin/lib/pdkcheck.exe
  bin/lib/pdklib.dll
  bin/lib/perl58.dll

You should be able to move the files anywhere as long as you keep the
lib directory at bin/../lib on Unix and at bin/lib on Windows.

You will also need to install the PDK license on your build machine
under your build account.
