I use Debian/testing aka squeeze and I've got ~300 non-Debian CPAN packages installed, all as .deb's using dh-make-perl. FWIW my workflow{1} is:
- cd <<cpanplus build directory>>
- cpanp t Module::To::Install download & test the module and all dependencies
- dh-make-perl --version <<module-version>>-0.0 --build <<directory>> for each directory created by cpanp. (Some fail, and some succeed.)
- su -c 'dpkg -i *.deb' Install those that succeeded
- Repeat 3 & 4 until all the modules are installed
It's a long way from being perfect, but it works for me.
{1} Scripted, of course:
#!/usr/bin/perl
use 5.010;
use strict;
use warnings FATAL => 'all';
run();
sub run {
fetch_and_test($_)
for @ARGV;
for my $dir (grep -d, glob "*") {
system qw[rm -rf], "$dir/debian"
if -e "$dir/debian";
my ($module, $ver) = $dir =~ m/(.*)-(.*)/;
my $deb = lc "lib$module-perl";
system(qw/dh-make-perl --version/, "$ver-0.0", "--build", $dir
+) == 0
and system qw/rm -rf/, $dir; #created a deb
}
}
sub fetch_and_test {
my $module = shift;
system qw[
cpanp
s conf prereqs 1;
],
"t", $module;
}

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
