What about http://www.cpan.org/misc/cpan-faq.html#How_contribute_modules
(i.e. "read the FAQ" )

And a Google query "how to upload to CPAN" gives plenty of good links right
away.

I have no objections to making it easier, but I'm more interested in what
someone getting a bachelors found "complex and cumbersome".
