Dear lazyweb...

This must be a solved problem. One has a version control system, and one
has a tarball of perl, and tarballs of a bunch of known versions of
modules that one has downloaded from CPAN, which makes one decoupled from
any subsequent changes or deletions on CPAN. What one wants to do is
build perl, and then build all those module versions, from the local
snapshotted versions.

So what's the best way to do this? The naïve, brute force, way is to
build perl, and then loop round all the tarballs in order, extracting
them, running Makefile.PL, ignore there whining about missing
dependencies (as we're going to get to them), run make install, and hope
- ie skipping all tests. However, this is also getting trapped by
Makefile.PLs that decide that they want to ask questions, or things that
really wanted Module::Build, etc.

What would be really nice would be to do it in the dependency order that
the cpan shell would work out, but the danger of just using it is that it
goes off and tries (helpfully) to download things that it can't find,
which is not what is wanted. (If we goof, and fails to have a suitable
version of the module, it's a fail)

So what's the best tool for this job?
