I am not sure that Postgres needs CPAN. CPAN is particularly useful for handling dependencies. I doubt that there will be lots of dependencies in Postgres add ons. So having something like the current system where you download and build packages from source isn't going to be improved much with a CPAN like system.
Hmm, I was thinking rather it would be more a definitive system to look for PgSQL extenstions and a way to encourage distributors to package the extensions together with "mainstream" PostgreSQL. :) Regards, Dawid
