How to ensure all required CPAN modules are loaded when I install my program to new system?

Sorry if this is very newb question, I promise I did try this on my own.

As I develop a perl prototype I keep installing new CPAN modules I wish to use for the prototype to my local perl. I want to ensure when this program is deployed all these CPAN modules I'm using are installed on the production box as well.

I don't want to keep track of every new CPAN module I install during development and manually install each on production, I want to run a command and have all the appropriate modules loaded. In java world I would use something like Maven to list these dependencies and trust maven to handle fetching and ensuring my libraries are available. Does Perl have the equivalent?

I would kind of expect I can point cpan to my program and it could infer which modules are needed with basic static analysis and install them on the fly, but I haven't found the program or syntax to do so. can anyone point me to

The easiest way to do this is to load Webmin, which will report both native cpan modules, and modules loaded via yum or apt-get. Deploying the install is another discussion.
