As far as I know cpan2port is still unfinished and rather a proof of
concept. Volunteers for developing this tool would be appreciated (with
a little bit of perl knowledge required)!

<http://svn.macosforge.org/repository/macports/contrib/cpan2port/>

Note there is also a script with the same name for MirPorts, maybe that
can be helpful:

<https://www.mirbsd.org/cvs.cgi/ports/infrastructure/scripts/cpan2port?rev=HEAD>

FOSDEM 2009 slides about this script:
