Actually I wasn't aware that software you uploaded to the CPAN even
had to be free software. E.g. this module is not:

    https://metacpan.org/module/Lisp::Fmt#COPYRIGHT

And the CPAN FAQ only mentions that most modules are free software,
not that your module has to be as well:

    http://www.cpan.org/misc/cpan-faq.html#How_is_Perl_licensed

Anyway, these sort of problems with the CPAN keep coming up, usually
when some important module needs a bugfix and the original author is
unavailable.

It would be much easier to deal with those issues if the CPAN had a
selection of community-maintained indexes instead of the single
monolothic index that it has now, then you could just subscribe to
another index and make all these problems go away.
