Not sure, didn't know if we had a way to do this, so I thought I would bring it up, kinda thought that it would be interesting to add to AUR if we didn't have something similar.

Is it very different or superior to doing this manually or using CPANPLUS? Example:

Well, I'm not sure what you mean exactly. I have little experience with perl, but apparently you get sources always from cpan, and what CPANPLUS does is helping you with/automating PKGBUILD writing, dependency resolution and updating, afaik. You can also use Bauerbill --cpan Just check bauerbill man page.
