The CPAN index is listing
base undef G/GS/GSAR/perl-5.6.1.tar.gz
for base.pm. There's two problems with that.
1) base.pm in 5.6.1 is version 1.01, not undef.
2) M/MS/SCCHWERN/Class-Fields-0.14.tar.gz contains base.pm version 1.97
As a result, modules with dependencies on base > 0 are trying to
download perl. Users of 5.005_03 and down can't install modules
properly.
Andreas, if you don't have the time, could you please publish the CPAN
indexing code somewhere so I can fix this?

Any sufficiently encapsulated hack is no longer a hack.
