"I fear that the reports of my demise have been greatly exagerated."

- The CPAN.pm bug

So, has it really been fixed this time? It was reported fixed and appeared to have been fixed but when 5.6.1 came out it appeared that the part of the bug fix that was required on the CPAN mirror sites had not been kept up and so the bug appeared again. Indeed, the first "fix" is certainly contained in 5.6.0's CPAN.pm.

So, do we now have a second fix?

And for those of you thinking, "Why don't you just check for yourself, ya lazy Saint??", the ChangeLog for the latest version of CPAN.pm according to http://search.cpan.org/ doesn't show any changes since March 1999, which was before the first fix.
