It's where other ebuilds wind up if no one puts them in the official tree.
So, if there needs to be some customisation of an ebuild, it *may* already be done in the overlay. And g-cpan should find it and use it, so may save some time and hassle.

Unfortunately, not... BTW, there is a patch to g-cpan which hasn't made it into the tree. I haven't tried it but... looking at the code, it may help a bit with some blatant errors. Still, I don't think a CPAN 'bundle' is going to fly very well using this code... since I believe a 'bundle' really relies on CPAN doing the work, not a package manager.
HTH.
