You have apparently not understood what I said.  The problem is not
creating the package itself, much less who creates it.

To reiterate, cpanm is inappropriate for packaging since it works around
any system packaging (by design, not necessity) and there is nothing to
be gained by having it as a system package instead of just pulling it
from cpanmin.us or Github, which you can easily enough do already.

Achim.
