I suggest that you take a look at PAR::Dist::FromCPAN. It can generate
individual .par files for CPAN distributions (and follow dependencies!).
It can also merge the result.
Since you want to exclude XS modules, you may want to skip the merging
bit. Use the automatic detection of XS modules and then delete all
produced .par files that aren't "anyarch". Thereafter, you can merge the
remaining, pure-Perl .par's with, I believe, the merging function of
PAR::Dist.
Obviously, this is easily scripted.
Best regards,
Steffen
