Until recently, this required manually deploying each component. I did this a couple weeks ago, and it took me something like <strong>40 hours</strong> to figure out and complete. As I went, I started reading up on <code>Module::Build</code>, trying to figure out how to automate as much as possible. It turns out that this core module gives us a surprisingly powerful tool for customized deployment. First, it will help to understand a few aspects of how our code is deployed.</p>
