This has been an interesting discussion but, unfortunately, my first question about getting CPANPLUS to work is nowhere near resolved. I'll have to do a bit more research in that area.
As for the second question about setting up my BBEdit environment, Doug McNutt's solution of putting everything I need in $HOME/.MacOSX/environment.plist has worked perfectly. After reading through "BPRuntimeConfig.pdf" from the Apple developer site I thought I could even be more BBEdit specific and put its environmental stuff in an LSEnvironment dictionary in /Applications/BBEdit.app/Contents/Info.plist -- but that didn't seem to work. Thanks to everyone for all the advice.
