Not really...

I like the solution used by java-package, with a script named make-jpkg
that takes a JVM distribution file and creates a Debian Package that you
dkpg -i it.

I'd prefer such solution instead of managing CPAN as a repository.

hypotetical example of use:

$ wget .....Some-Module-X.X.X.tar.gz
$ make-cpan-pkg Some-Module-X.X.X.tar.gz
[lot of output...]
$ dpkg -i libsome-module-perl_X.X.X-1_all.deb
