Tom,

Just out of curiosity, how is CPAN populated and kept in sync?  I went the
the Winnipeg site at

    http://theory.uwinnipeg.ca/search/cpan-search.html

and searched for Frontier (Ken MacLeod's Perl XML-RPC package) and found a
couple links to a readme and a tgz.  Clickly the readme link failed the
first time, but succeeded the second (guess it was choosing different
mirrors and got a hoser the first time).

I then tried the same search at search.cpan.org and got no relevant hits.
