I try; in the case of the latter, my friends assure me I'm half way there.

If you registered it on the modulelist under your old id as well, then
perhaps metacpan is taking that as primary.

While I dearly love metacpan as a general cpan search system, I don't treat

at least *differently* wrong to search.cpan.org which maintains its own
permissions index (and guesses for dev releases) with sometimes hilarious
results.
