I agree (somewhat) with your message - if it's that searching through CPAN is sometimes less helpful because there are so many things to search through. However, it's a "high class problem" - it would indeed be much harder to search for what you needed were there nothing to search through. CPAN is difficult to search, this is unfortunate reality, but I'd argue that it is not CPAN's job to provide search functionality - it is a repository not a search engine, there are other tools and (ahem) communities devoted to solving that problem

Furthermore, if you don't have anything nice to say....
