These are both in the cpan-mac distribution.

To install a module from CPAN, you can simply download it and drop 
the .tar.gz file on the installme droplet.

tarzipme is also included in cpan-mac, and it just allows you to 
create a .tar.gz archive, optionally selecting each individual item 
in the archive to be translated as text, kept as binary, or 
translated into MacBinary.  installme (and untarzipme, also in the 
archive) will (usually) properly convert MacBinary files back into 
Mac files, and translate text files.

Most of this is described in the cpan-mac README, which is with the 
distribution here:
