Some time ago I had to write a small academic project in Perl. I wrote this and it's so cool that I feel I should share it with you:).

Today I published PKGBUILD for ArchLinux, but it would be nice to write build scripts for other distros like Debian/Ubuntu or Gentoo. Contribution is welcomed;).
Have a fun!
