The package description should mention that the modules aren't
integrated with Debian packaging (no resolution dependency ; some
conflicts may happens ; security updates aren't handled by apt***, etc).
Also, installing the same module on 2 systems at a few days interval
does not guarantee to install the the version (isn't it?)

So the preferred way to install a perl module in Debian is to use
package from Debian)

My 2 cents,
