Fix this." is no way to talk to anyone, specially not when you're asking strangers for their help. Secondly, this is the wrong tracker. CPAN's bugtracker can be found at https://rt.cpan.org/Dist/Display.html?Name=CPAN. Only modules maintained in core should have their bugs reported on perl's own bugtracker.
