i think another solution would be to just rip out debian's /usr/lib/perl5 and /usr/bin/perl and install perl from source using /usr/local/lib. then all cpan modules will be properly installed there and perl will be in /usr/local/bin. also then you get to build perl the way you want.
Just to beat the topic to death, yes, replacing Debian's Perl with a custom-built one is a bad thing indeed. In my experience, I have found two ways to use Perl with Debian:
1) Use the dh-make-perl to create Debian packages (.deb's) from Perl modules and manage them with Apt, or..
2) /usr/local
