Yeah; that's what we do.   We have a git submodule (cpan/) with our  
application, so when we upgrade or install a module it gets branched/ 
merged/tracked/code-reviewed/managed just like any other application  
change we make.

We have a helper script[1] that starts the CPAN shell with  
INSTALL_BASE appropriately configured to make it easy.
