I found nice script for CPAN modules handling:
perl-cpanplus-pacman - http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?t=21048
Hmm... If something like this could be official Arch tool than all
perl modules that are not dependencies for some other packages can be
removed from all repos.
But IMHO it is better to have some minimal support in Pacman too.
I think about something like this in PKGBUILD:
  depends=('pkgA' 'pkgB' 'CPAN')
  modules=('cpan-module-a' 'cpan-module-b' 'cpan-module-c')
Pacman sees the CPAN as dependency then checks if each cpan-module-*
package (they are standard Arch packages) is installed and if not -
asks user to install them and then passes each module package name to
helper script which downloads missed modules and generates those
missed cpan-module-* packages, then pacman continues to install our
main PKGBUILD.
(wow, such long sentence :-D)

English is not my native language too. :-)
