Maybe we can include your script in the quick start guide or I can write a tutorial on installing the modules using the Perl Install command.  If I go the route of writing the steps needs to install the modules and force all dependencies, I'll need to become more familiar with the Perl Install command.

When completed and tested to my satisfaction, I may host my script on my site, but I don't want it directly included with any distributions.  I recommend you research the command-line syntax of the PPM script, and learn how it applies to how I installed the modules on your system via the script I wrote.  For example:

[Time-HiRes module]
   PPM install -follow Time-HiRes
[Win32-Daemon module]
   PPM install -follow http://www.roth.net/perl/packages/win32-daemon.ppd

Note:  -follow means to follow and install all required dependencies.

I also always upgrade not only the ASSP-related modules to their latest version, but the core Perl modules as well:

[upgrade all installed modules]
   PPM upgrade -install -follow -precious *

Note:  -precious relates to follow even the core Perl modules. * means to perform the task against all installed modules.

The documentation for PPM will explain in full detail what the switches do.  I learned everything I know from the online docs at activestate.com
