With 'the cpan page' i'm guessing you mean search.cpan.org. And in that
case, you should report the bug there, as A::T lists it's license both
in the module list (for registered modules), as demonstrated by this
cpanplus output:
CPAN Terminal> l Archive::Tar

Traditionally (this is, before i took over the module), the changes
have been in the README file shipped with A::T:
http://search.cpan.org/src/KANE/Archive-Tar-1.24/README
But i've always found that a bit uncomfortable place as well, so
perhpas i'll change it in a future release.
