We choose to manually install our modules for all of our environments. The CPAN module has a tendency to grab the latest and greatest of everything.
One nice thing is to use the CPAN.pm to make a 'snapshot' of your modules and make a bundle out of them. Then just install your custom bundle. You'll need to edit the list it makes, as it will bundle all of your standard shipped modules as well.
