Thanks for the update - my query was not a complaint as much as just trying to
find out if anybody out there was following this bug.

Although I am no Perl expert, I believe that Perl has some very useful
paradigms for making sure that regex's are appropriately quoted.

Incidentally, it is a bit ironic that this perl-oriented program (it is
cpan2spec afterall) uses 'sed' rather than more powerful 'perl' paradigms to
filter. Switching to perl should be simple and would solve the problem using
something like the \Q...\E expression.
