It's not a module. That's why it is not on the module list available to the CPAN shell.
Thanks, that makes sense, at least, technically.

It's not ideal, though. CPAN, at least in my expectations, is supposed to find everything available on CPAN, and not just the modules. So when searching for something, it should check more than just the modules list.

After all, it does find it when you ask for BDFOY's stuff. So, why can't it just scan that list too? (I'm guessing it must be either the authors' list, or the dist list.)

Oh, I know. "Patches welcome." :)
