sorry for the long delay, just had time again to look at this.
the only thing in site_perl is File/MMagic.pm
I've also checked whether there are other "cpanplus" or "makemaker" related files on my system but there aren't. The only ones that are there are owned by the perl package itself, according to pacman -Qo.
So I continue being confused. Currently I can't seem to build any aur packages related to perl, they all fail with this same error.

Check if you have /usr/share/perl5/site_perl directory with old version of CPANPlus or MakeMaker packages, which can interfere with default ones during build.

/usr/share/perl5/core_perl/CPAN/Meta/Converter.pm is owned by perl 5.16.1-1
