Old versions of some perl modules are aggressively pruned by their
authors, up to the point that only the latest version is available
for some modules.
OF course, that does not play very well for us, since we'd soon trip
on missing upstream versions.
As suggested br François, switch over to using Backpan, that provides
all the versions (including current ones) of all the modules for an
apparently unlimited time (there are modules dating back 2005, at
least.)
