Could this situation be improved? Could Arch generate packages automatically or semiautomatically from domain-specific package? Something like *_PACKAGE macro for PKGBUILD:
Check out makepkg-template in the git repo.
I'm planing on figuring out how to create a template for cpan packages that will only require the module name and the version. I'll probably use http://api.metacpan.org to get the metadata while building (but relying on external services for that needs discussion first) and then there will be a (hopefully) simple script that bumps the package version to the most recent cpan release. This is out of the scope of this list though and I'm not yet ready for much discussion on the matter.
