Is there something we can do about unsupported CPAN Modules, for example 
HTML::FormatData?  That module hasn't been updated since 2005, and it's 
not because it works and needs no updating, because it doesn't work.

a) Users should be warned when attempting to download/install
b) CPAN maintainers should receive a notification to check said module 
with a recommendation that the author be contacted ...

From my perpective as someone who mainly uses CPAN for finding Modules 
for my own scripts this sounds like a very good proposal. Less can be more.

Thanks for starting this discussion, Ingo
