> At least some, and probably most, of these URIs were updated quite
> recently.  For example, the 'perl-mouse', 'perl-carp-clan', and
> 'perl-file-temp' were all updated on March 23, and presumably the source
> URIs worked at that point, but then all three URIs had to be updated two
> days later to fix the broken download links.

> The CPAN download URLs that we are using are apparently not long-lived.
> Does anyone know if CPAN, or perhaps another site, offers more stable
> download URIs for these packages?
