If you have one from a package, why install from CPAN?

Yes.
$ perl -V:vendorlib -V:sitelib
vendorlib='/usr/share/perl5';
sitelib='/usr/local/share/perl/5.10.0';
Vendor stuff (packaged debs) goes under /usr/share/perl5 by default
(well, it's more complex than that). Locally-insstalled stuff
(site-specific) goes under /usr/local/share .

It basically avoids the problem altogether.
