Instead you have to traverse Xcode -> Open Developer Tool -> More Developer Tools… and that leads to the developer web site where the command line tools are located.  Also, I had to log into the site using my developer credentials.

Hmm. It used to be in Xcode>Preferences on the downloads tab.

OTOH, I just upgraded to 10.9 a couple of hours ago, upgraded Xcode to 5.0.1, and *without* downloading anything more after the Xcode "needs to download some more components" on first launch, find:
   ls -l /usr/bin/gcc*
   -rwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel  14224 Oct 24 08:42 /usr/bin/gcc*
  ls -l /usr/bin/make
  -rwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel  14224 Oct 24 08:42 /usr/bin/make*
Which should be enough to make CPAN happy. This isn't a clean install, of course. I'll have to try later on a VM for that.
