This happens because the author is playing tricks for installation. Notice on http://search.cpan.org/~lembark/FindBin-libs-1.11/ thee are no modules listed, there is only a documentation section.
Browsing to http://cpansearch.perl.org/src/LEMBARK/FindBin-libs-1.11/lib/FindBin/ shows there are 2 module files, but the author specifically hides them from pause with package # hak to avoid indexing the extra module FindBin::libs; Then in the Makefile.PL they create libs.pm as a link based on the version of perl being installing the module. so PAUSE never finds any modules, because they are specifically hidden and search.cpan.org finds the documentation in those files.
