It is a bit of a pain to have to upgrade loads of modules, but Gentoo's g-cpan
does a reasonable job (although it needs help on a couple of modules), or you
can use Michele's overlay. I recently installed Catalyst onto a fresh Perl
install, and using that overlay, the whole process was fast and almost totally
automatic - and all the modules are handled in Gentoo's package management
now.
