While the time changed since CPAN was created and I understand the benefits that conducted to explore this experiment (e.g. easy patching, flexibility...), it may require to think twice before fully relying on an external platform. Both CPAN, PyPi and RubyGems currently rely on infrastructure providers for hosting but are not tied to an external platform.
