I think you just described ActiveState's Perl Package Manager (PPM).
http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/Downloads/ActivePerl/PPM/
I lived under the expression that it is:
* for windows only
* only includes Foo-Bar, but not it's dependecies
It will auto-install dependencies just like CPAN, I believe. And, yes,
it's currently Windows-only. Didn't you offer bonus points for Windows??
No it isn't. ActivePerl runs on 8 platforms, and the ppms are available
for said 8 platforms.
