If I add a completion definition for some arbitrary, undefined symbol,
% compdef _perl_modules foo
The completion works normally:
% foo Acme::<Tab>
Acme::Bleach Acme::Magpie Acme::Morse
Acme::DWIM Acme::Magpie::l33t
However, if I then define foo:
% foo () { echo "args are: $*" }
The completion stops working, even if I re-execute the compdef command
above. What am I doing wrong?

The problem is with _perl_modules. It expects all commands for which it
complete to be synonyms for perl; it's attempting to run
foo -e 'print @INC'
to find the include-path for the modules to complete. When foo does not
exist it falls back to
perl -e 'print @INC'
but when foo does exist and does not behave like perl, it simply fails.

Weird and gross. Thanks :)
I've added an if [ "$1" = "-e" ] to my function as a workaround.
