Dist::Zilla
Dist::Zilla is a program to make it easier to write, package, manage, and release free software. It's targeted at libraries written in the Perl programming language and released to the CPAN. If you release software to the CPAN, Dist::Zilla can probably save you a lot of work. It has plugins to automate dozens of boring steps including:
- adding copyright and license notices
- determining prerequisites
- building Makefile.PL or Build.PL install tools
- tagging releases in your source code control
- uploading to the CPAN
- adding stock tests for compilation, documentation, and style
- simplifying the documentation process
- managing version numbers

There used to be a mailing list, but it was very rarely used, so it was
