Anyway... I can currently see:

    http://ftp.cpan.org/authors/id/D/DA/DAPM/perl-5.10.1-RC1.tar.bz2
    http://search.cpan.org/CPAN/authors/id/D/DA/DAPM/perl-5.10.1-RC1.tar.gz

but not:

    http://www.cpan.org/authors/id/D/DA/DAPM/perl-5.10.1-RC1.tar.bz2
    http://www.cpan.org/src/5.0/perl-5.10.1-RC1.tar.bz2

How does this diverge from what I should expect?
