Actually, it works if you know the name of the author:
CPAN Terminal> l GBARR/libwww-perl-5.803
Details for 'libwww::perl'
Author GBARR (cpanplus-info@lists.sf.net)
Description None given
Development Stage Unknown
Interface Style Unknown
Language Used Unknown
Package libwww-perl-5.803.tar.gz
Support Level Unknown
Version on CPAN 5.803
Contains: Bundle::LWP
File::Listing
This data is not in the pause index files, so we can't search for it
i'm afraid -- you need to get the individual authors checksum file to
know where to fetch the distribution from etc.
Is this good enough for your purposes?
