in thread Moving Perl from test to Dev

Personally, I'd prefer to let CPAN do the source-control on those modules and install the specific version of a given module in each place. For example, you could either d/l the correct .tar.gz or do "install XXX 1.234" within the CPAN module.
That's pretty dangerous! There are people that cleanup their CPAN directories, and only keep the most recent version(s) of their modules there. What if you want to do "install XXX 1.234", and the oldest version of XXX on CPAN happens to be 4.17?

    I didn't know that! Huh. So, local copies of the .tar.gz it is!
