Perl being a community effort, we all share the responsability if something is not the way we like it.

Absolutely. And getting the public worked up over such an important item is a great way to get the masses into motion :) I took the time to go over the open tickets in CPAN.pm's RT queue: Allow CPAN.pm to detect bad/old mirrors is on there, with the promise of a fix cpan install $module added last week, with a patch Module::Signature warning appears even when no gpg is present contains a patch (this doesn't fix the bigger issues mentioned by the OP) There's more at http://rt.cpan.org/NoAuth/Bugs.html?Dist=CPAN. The community process seems to be working well enough. Not always as fast as we'd like, but impatience is in our nature, right? :)	[reply]
