search.cpan.org marks every PDL release as "UNAUTHORIZED"
I *think* that's under control (but I'll make some enquiries ... thanks for drawing it to my attention). The fact that 2.4.3_01 is "UNAUTHORIZED" is not, of itself, a concern. I suspect that might happen because it's been uploaded to Chris Marshall's account. When 2.4.4 is released, it will (presumably) be uploaded to Christian Soeller's account - and hopefully won't be slammed with the "UNAUTHORIZED" tag that 2.4.3 got lumbered with. We probably won't know for sure until 2.4.4 gets uploaded.

Actually, there is no current PDL developer
with sufficient permissions for a clean
upload to PAUSE.
One of the goals for this upload was to
diagnose any remaining permissions needed
for PDL maintenance and to coordinate
them so that future releases can happen
cleanly without a lot of work to sort out
permissions.
We have been working to collect maintainer
permissions for PDL maintainers that do not
wish to participate actively in development.
For the purposes of module permissions,
that is basically that they keep up with the
pdl-developer's list and are responsive to
the need to adjust module permissions for
release management.
There are only a few remaining authors to
work with on this issue and we plan to get
their permissions fully coordinated by the
formal PDL-2.4.4 release.
Afterward, we will be documenting the
process and suggestions for multi-author
maintainance for some sort of FAQ ref
for all perl module authors.
