Personally I think that the community doesnt want to deal with this issue, as to deal with it properly a level of buerocracy needs to be implemented. And I think that the community tries to avoid buerocracy which is cool when things are small. But I think long term the undoing of CPAN will be this and related issues if it isnt confronted soon eventually.

<Elian> And I do take a kind of perverse pleasure in having an OO assembly language...

• Update:  
No im not predicitng the dath of CPAN, just that people trust of it is a function of how much they can rely on it. As more and more crud accumulates, and modules are left unsupported and unmaintained, the likelyhood of getting crap code gets higher and higher. Eventually there will be so much junk that no one will bother trying to figure out what to use, and just go elsewhere. But I think eventually is a long time. But id rather it didnt happen at all.
