Each time I cobbled together some combination of different CPAN::Site, CPAN::Mini::Inject and CPAN modules with various shell scripts, commit hooks, and cron jobs. Although they were generally effective, I feel they were clunky, highly specialized, and hard to maintain.

You might want to check out:

http://beta.metacpan.org/ the front and backend are here:
https://github.com/cpan-api

http://blogs.perl.org/mt/mt-search.fcgi?limit=20&search=metacpan has
some history and discuss with them on irc.perl.org #metacpan - I've
pointed them to your perlmonk post

https://github.com/szabgab/CPAN-Digger also exists -  I think Gabour
is discussing if there is any overlap with #metacpan which they're
discussing.

http://blogs.perl.org/users/michael_j/2011/04/deploying-perl-code-with-git-locallib-minicpan-and-cpanminus.html
is actually the setup we use at work, but this only works because we
only have one version of all code for all projects.

Hope that helps.

Leo
