Gunnar's talk would be my first source, too. Maybe some numbers need an update (our repo is growing each day :)) but otherwise it covers the work of the Debian Perl Group and the relationship between CPAN and Debian very well.

I have no doubt that you as a member of the group can present our work in a good way!
