in reply to How to obtain the distribution file for the specific version of a module

No. For what's on CPAN, you could scrape the http://search.cpan.org/dist/Distname-Version pages looking for the version you want, but presumably the distribution you want may be on backpan instead (or the distribution may have changed names along the way).

I highly recommend keeping the distribution tarballs you might want later in some very safe place, and bypassing this problem entirely.
