How do I create a build for a legacy system?

We are currently maintaining a Perl web application and we are slowly trying to bring it into the modern age.

We want to be able to build our application so that when a new developer comes along we can just give them a copy of the build and they can have a local copy of the application with minimal fuss.

Does anyone have any experience of creating a build for a legacy web application that could offer some pro tips?

Start by authoring an ordinary CPAN distribution, Perl modules go into lib etc. This is described in perlnewmod and the documents referenced in its section titled See also.

Use Module::Build as the build system. You extend it for the extra stuff you want to install, for example template files, this is described in the cookbook.
