I've not personally messed with CPAN. If the origins are correct,
then the HOLD_PKGS array in /usr/local/etc/pkgtools.conf is probably
what is preventing portupgrade from updating them.
# HOLD_PKGS: array
#
# This is a list of ports you don't want portupgrade(1) to upgrade,
# portversion(1) to suggest upgrading, or pkgdb(1) to fix.
# You can use wildcards ("ports glob" and "pkgname glob").
# -f/--force with each command will override the held status.
#
# To completely hide the existence of a package, put a dummy file
# named "+IGNOREME" in the package directory.
#
# cf. pkg_glob(1), ports_glob(1)
#
# e.g.:
# HOLD_PKGS = [
# 'bsdpan-*',
# 'x11*/XFree86*',
# ]
