I said large corporate organisation such as a bank or a telco and I also mean to exclude large software or consulting operations from the problem I am talking about.
The telcos and banks I've worked for are large software or consulting operations. Hell I've been involve with some banks that have taken their compiler development in house!
This has nothing to do with the scale of the organisation. This has to do with how you organise your software platform and the business risks associated with that platform.
This is nothing specific to Perl and CPAN. It applies to any language and system that involves third party code.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

Want more info? How to link
or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
