Good idea. Right now I use workaround to use my modules in site_perl:
1) I've installed fresh modules from CPAN.
2) I've unmerged Gentoo's modules (because of @INC re-ordering issue).
3) I've fill /etc/portage/profile/package.provided to avoid installing them
   again by emerge -uDNa world. I use something like:

{ perl -le 'use DBI;        print "dev-perl/DBI-",       $DBI::VERSION';
  perl -le 'use DBD::mysql; print "dev-perl/DBD-mysql-", $DBD::mysql::VERSION';
  perl -le 'use XML::Simple;print "dev-perl/XML-Simple-",$XML::Simple::VERSION';
  perl -le 'use XML::Parser;print "dev-perl/XML-Parser-",$XML::Parser::VERSION';
} >> /etc/portage/profile/package.provided

Maybe it's good idea to automate this in some way...
