First of all, your tone is rather rude. "X annoys me. 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.
