As per marto's reply, the CPAN is not down. The CPAN is an archive mirrored across almost 500 servers in over 60 countries. It's hard to imagine anything short of the zombie apocalypse taking the CPAN down.

search.cpan.org is down though. search.cpan.org is a sites that provide a nice, searchable interface listing CPAN distributions and showing their documentation. Although it is a popular gateway to the CPAN, it is not the only one.

We also have metacpan.org, which is gaining ground in terms of popularity.

(There was also kobesearch once upon a time, but its maintainer sadly passed away, and the site is no more. There is periodic talk of resurrecting the site.)

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
