run smoke tests against perl application distributive:
1) Connect to remote host with gien ssh login using ssh public-key authentication schema 2) Upload distributive to host 3) Unpack it 4) Run standard perl Build.PL/Makefile.PL cycle to execute unit tests and check prerequisites 5) So - If anything goes wrong you know it in good time, before release is happened!
