OK, this RTFM is actually a little obscure:
man CPAN
Not too many manpages need capital letters. I always try it with lower case
letters before I remember to cap it :).
That said, Joey Hess ( who's reported to know just a little bit about Debian
and how it works :) recently posted the following advice on this list:
If the module is not packaged (about 270 are), the next best thing is to
use the dh-make-perl, which can build debian packages on the fly out of
CPAN.
I don't reccommend using CPAN for installing stuff on Debian systems.
It's too smart for its own good.
