Cpan is being used to keep a perl-installation "current".

"current" in CPAN.
We don't support third-party packages, and even less third-party non-
packages like CPAN.
Or differently: If we don't keep perl-modules in Fedora's
perl "CPAN
current", we sooner or later will not be able to add other perl-modules
to Fedora or to upgrade other perl-modules, which e.g. carry
hard-dependencies to these "not upgraded modules" to Fedora
If they require a minimum version which didn't actually change anything
instead of the actual minimum required version, they're broken and need to
be fixed.
