The "available" command fetch certain URLs and build build its output. It was first designed just as a way do discover "what's out there". I'm open to this and I think it can be done -- we just need to figure out where to retrieve this infromation. If the list becomes too long and looks bad in someway we will figure out what to do. One obvious source is the built-in list from CPAN::Perl::Releases
