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
