I don't know if it's relevant to the metacpan problem but Astro::Montenbruck, despite working very well as an ephemeris, has weird install issues with regard to CPAN and Perl. A few past releases failed the tests because it didn't install the prerequisite List::MoreUtils. I never noticed it before but the 10 included scripts are simply not installed anywhere. Also it is invisible to ExtUtils::Installed: 
perl -MAstro::Montenbruck -le 'print $Astro::Montenbruck::VERSION'

> 1.26 
perl -MExtUtils::Installed -MData::Dumper -le 'print Dumper(ExtUtils::
+Installed->new->files("Astro::Montenbruck"))'

[download]
> Astro::Montenbruck is not installed at -e line 1.

But Module::Metadata sees it (perldoc works too): 

perl -MModule::Metadata -MData::Dumper -le 'print Module::Metadata->ne
+w_from_module("Astro::Montenbruck")->{filename}'

[download]
> /lib/site_perl/5.36.0/Astro/Montenbruck.pm

I guess something's wrong with the installation configs (packlist?) and hope that someone who understands such things can figure it out and contact the author with the required fixes for this otherwise excellent distribution.
