Although that would perhaps be a nice feature to have according to some (
although i feel it is not needed), it would be non-trivial to implement
given the current source files from cpan -- ie, not only the indexer,
but also cpan.pm and cpanplus would have to be educated quite a bit to
understand this.
Besides, this feels a lot like an xy problem: the real problem we want
to address is a better packaging system for perl, that just
transparently Does The Right Thing.
