At $work we run our own mirror + our own Debian repo so we can
control/manage updates.

We're moving to using CPAN::Mini with the whole structure in git so we
can always roll back if we want.

We use CPAN::Mini::Inject to add our own packages.

If we wanted a web interface we'd use CPAN::Mini::Webserver

We then install from our CPAN::Mini into a local::lib dir (which again
is in git so can be rolled back) and rsync that out to machines.

I wouldn't want someone else managing this.
