I've had CPAN issues since last week, mostly slow downloads and queries. I dunno if there is excessive load on the servers or if it's just flaky routes.

Eh, I just did a traceroute and things don't seem that bad. 
C:\perl\bwb>tracert -d www.cpan.org

Tracing route to cpan.pair.com (66.39.76.93)
over a maximum of 30 hops:
