Without having seen it, I think it sounds like a useful tool, 
and I think you ought to upload this script and make it available 
to others (if you haven't already).  Thank you for writing it.  

That being said, however, I do not think it's the right way to 
implement tarballs for the CPAN script archive. 

I think this would be an appropriate time for the mailing list
maintainer and/or the CPAN script archive maintainer to weigh in
with an opinion.
