I seem to recall some rules about that within the Book of Vile Darkness, but I can't find my copy at hand, so I can't double check for you. Maybe that book just had additional, "vile" poisons.
i already looked through it and yeah it's just additional vile poisons. It says that you might be able to sell the bodies or glands at 1/6 the cost of a normal dose so that a specialist might render it, but it gives no instruction as to how that rendering process is done.

The closest I've found is the rules for Craft (poisonmaking) in CA.
The difference in cost is reflective of whether or not the character has access to the venom or not.
Perhaps there is something for preparing skins and the like, I can't readily find it but would seem to be under Survival to me.

House ruling it.
So basically if you have a purple worm corpse it stands to reason that you still must make some investment of time and money to properly extract, preserve and refine the poison. But here I would say you need only make 1/2 the standard amount in GP with your weekly craft poison check to create one dose.
