I'll give you some pointers that might help. Doing an ebuild for 3.0.9 
might not be so hard using the work that already haas been done.

To deal with perl modules Gentoo has done something very interesting it, i.e.
# g-cpan.pl MODULE
makes a .ebuild and installs the module 

(very similar tools are cpan2rpm for RPM, http://perl.arix.com/cpan2rpm/
and dh-make-perl for DEBs)
