I do have a bit of a pet itch to automate a big chunk of the perl- 
module-install stuff that needs to be done before a koha install
So I'm keen to do some work on this too

My idea was to continue to use CPAN still - but your idea and mine  
dovetail quite nicely

Perhaps something like..
do a search for a perl module in a tgz/par file
   if none is found then attempt a cpan search


FYI:  take a look at MJ Ray's 'install-CPAN.pl' script as a starting  
point
