search.cpan.org seems a bit unreliable lately, so there were some users
having problems installing packages from SBo either downloading
manually or using automatic tools, so zacts voluntarily create a mass
patch to update the source to metacpan which is more reliable for
future usage

if any of the maintainers have any objections about their packages
being modified, please let me know, and i will remove it from that
branch

Thanks
