Yes, it is called (as noted in another post) RuntimeBuilder.  Text files
_can_ be inserted into the resource fork of the runtime, or they can be put
into a subfolder in the same folder as the runtime (which is what you need
to do with shared libraries, anyway).

At some point, there will be Perl archive files similar to Java's .jar
files, I believe, and at that point you can throw everything into one file
and send it along with the runtime.  Perhaps there will be a facility for
embedding this file into the runtime.
