There have been discussions about this both on debian-perl (debian) and
on module-authors (perl) in the past few weeks/months.

rjbs and I have been working on something that involves referring to things on
CPAN, both real files and abtract things (modules, dists without versions,
etc.). Here's what we have working so far:
URI::cpan (isa URI::_generic) reblesses into several packages based on its
'authority'.

Well, if your author ID happens to be dist or module or whatever,

Kindly call it a module, and not a package, because what you're describing

Yes it is. Alternately: explain what you mean.
The problem I have with the several proposals so far is that they seem
to assume things that may or may not be supported by CPAN's actual
metadata and file structure.
1) Distributions can't be uniquely identified without an author name.
For example:
cpan://dist/Foo-Bar/1.23

Good catch.
2) dists may or may not even contain modules -- they could just contain
scripts.
I'm not sure this is relevant,

In the CPAN, there are dists, which are largely any understood archive,
but especially one that contains either META.yml or is laid out with
modules and other stuff we recognize.
