CPAN continues to be one of the most useful resources on the planet. That requires a HUGE user-base, but there's plenty of room for the Javas and the Rubys and the Pythons and the C#s of the world.
Someone commented recently on the london-ruby list that <paraphrase> they wish more languages had a CPAN </paraphrase>. I've heard that from Java programmers too.
CJAN has been stalled for nearly a year. There have been at least a couple of other attempts at a CPAN-a-like, but those both died so long ago that I forget their names.
Ruby people have RAA and Rubyforge.
Everything that runs CPAN is open, so I'm not sure why the CJAN people didn't just re-use that. Sure there's the "eating your own dogfood" issue, but at least use the CPAN software to get started! And us perl-heads aren't afraid of using other languages when they have a better solution - lots of perl mongers lists use mailman, not majordomo or siesta.
