Thank you for that info. Yes, metacpan seems to be pretty broken wrt all that stuff.

what the matching pattern was on the other 14?

Look for perlmonk.org

I'm inclined to add everything I can find*, including the 185 from the other feed you identified. It's a service to the community; I find it hard to imagine that anyone would object...

*Edit for clarity: I am not going to scour the internet for this information. Rather, I will only use information which is already publicly available from either [Meta]CPAN.org or PAUSE. In fact, I've already taken that step, and have no plans to do anything further.
