Couldn't tell you, but if you go to the site that you specified initially, type "CPAN" in the "Site Name" text field, and hit the "Find Search Plugins", it comes up.

    I think this is different... you can easily setup Firefox to search http://search.cpan.org, but the plugin in question (I think - haven't actually looked at it :) searchs all of CPAN .. which could be useful if the main search site goes down.

      Ummm...I just checked the source of the one that's already on the site vs what you have. Here's what I see. First, the official version: 
      # Search file for cpan.org
#
# Creation:  2000 by Binary Runner  <binary_runner@rocketmail.com>
# Updated: 2003-02-26 by Paul Millar

<SEARCH
    version = "7.1"
    name = "cpan.org"
    method = "get"
    action = "http://search.cpan.org/search"
    description = "CPAN Search"
    searchform = "http://search.cpan.org/"

<input name="query" user>
<input name="mode"  value="all">
<input name="n" value="20">
<input name="sourceid" value="mozilla-search">

    browserResultType = "result"
    resultListStart = "<br><div class=t4>"
    resultListEnd = "<center> <b>1</b> &middot;"
    resultItemStart = "  <p><a "
    resultItemEnd = "<br /><small>"

      Next, the one I downloaded from your site: 
      <search
 version="7.1"
 name="search CPAN.org"
 description="search CPAN.org"
 action="http://search.cpan.org/search"
 searchForm="http://search.cpan.org"
 method="GET" >

<input name="sourceid" value="Mozilla-search">
<input name="query" user>

<interpret
 resultListStart="<!-- RESULT LIST START -->"
 resultListEnd="<!-- RESULT LIST END -->"
 resultItemStart="<!-- RESULT ITEM START -->"
 resultItemEnd="<!-- RESULT ITEM END -->"
>
</search>

<browser
 update="http://mycroft.mozdev.org/plugins/cpan.src"
 updateIcon="http://mycroft.mozdev.org/plugins/cpan.gif"
 updateCheckDays="3"
>

      [download]
      Now, I'm not an expert at Mozilla search plugins, but those look awefully similar...down to the version number even.
