Hi Jonathan,

> What stops you from downloading directly instead of using uscan?

the fact that it's a big red "** UNAUTHORIZED RELEASE **" warning, and I
am in no position to judge whether that's a false alarm and it is in
fact a perfectly authorized release or not (I note the two authors are
not the same, so this may well be a hostile takeover that I wouldn't
want to get involved in). I've been emailing cpan authors about this
before, and they have been able to fix it within a day or so. 

This shouldn't stop you from taking the initiative and uploading a new
version, if you happen to know more and/or feel comfortable making such
a decision :-)

Florian
