Hi,
I'd like to move perl-cpanplus and perl-cpanplus-dist-arch to community so users can install software from cpan easily without bypassing pacman.
+1
I'm not sure whether this is a problem or not because cpanplus automates the installation of software from a possibly untrusted source. It uses the metadata from CPAN to generate a PKGBUILD and runs makepkg -i on that.
Well packages will be downloaded from cpan, and users should be aware that they have to compile them after make the src.tar.gz, and then install it. So +1 in general.
More information about perl-cpanplus-dist-arch can be found here: https://github.com/juster/perl-cpanplus-dist-arch/blob/master/README
