It's my fault and it is indeed embarrassing. I hope that I can fix my
software that produces the module list Really Soon.

For now I can recommend you to use

    perl -MCPAN::Admin -e shell

instead of the module list itself. CPAN::Admin does two things more
than CPAN.pm:

-- it displays already registered module names in green
   (it uses Term::ANSIColor)

-- it has a quite intelligent "register" command that untars a tarball
   and uses some heuristics to construct a registration request and
   finally opens a netscape/mozilla window to display the request.
   With a single click you can submit the registration.

It's not a revolution, but it has some utility.
