So where do regular, run-of-the-mill perl folks like myself find out about this BackPAN? Now that I've heard of it I can google for it but the results are limited. It's not clear from the Google results that BackPAN is even a thing to find. It's not mentioned in the CPAN FAQ or really anywhere I'd ever think to look. So what's the deal? Is this the occult perl user's archive or what?
