Yeah, unfortunately, the perl 5 maintainers have been blackmailed into
brreaking large swathes of CPAN again using a bogus CVE report.

This has already been addressed - if you cannot wait for the next release,
you can use a cvs snapshot (see http://anyevent.schmorp.de), but note that
perl 5.25 isn't supported.

Note also that a new version of CPAN should alraedy have been released to
make this work again, so installations via CPAN should not be affected.

Yeah, breaking CPAN (and the documentation) for fun and profit, a sad
story yet again.
