The cure seems worse than the disease at this point in time then.

Maybe the heuristic in CPAN.pm could be just a little more
robust? I’m not sure what that would entail, of course; what
*did* distributions of the time look like? There have to be more
cues in there than *just* the absence of a Makefile.PL, I hope?
