Hello! I know this is a very old gist, but just FYI for people in the future that will see this, modern cpanm (at least, this should be true for cpanm 1.7046) could install modules from Github just like you would install modules from CPAN/MetaCPAN.

From perldoc cpanm

        For a git repository, you can specify a branch, tag, or commit SHA to
        build. The default is "master"

            cpanm git://github.com/plack/[email protected]        # tag
            cpanm git://github.com/plack/Plack.git@devel         # branch
