Whoever actually packages this (Gregor?), please note that CPANPLUS is
patched in the 'perl' package for a Debian specific configuration file
path and INSTALLDIRS defaults. See

 http://patch-tracker.debian.org/patch/series/view/perl/5.14.2-21/debian/cpanplus_definstalldirs.diff
 http://patch-tracker.debian.org/patch/series/view/perl/5.14.2-21/debian/cpanplus_config_path.diff

I think those patches need to go in the separate package too.

Also, perhaps it should provide a 'cpanplus' virtual package due to the
command line interface?
