A self-unpacking archive that can be used for program deployment and upgrades.
Much like PAR, this module provides a simple way to build (silently) self-extracting executables that can contain perl, modules and shared libraries. Unlike PAR it is not restricted to perl programs, works transparently, without any magic and can cache unpacked archives for extra speed. Also unlike PAR, it leaves you out in the cold on the problem of how to atcually gather your files into the distribution.
