Public bug reported:

The parsing of the fetched CPAN HTML is broken. CPAN seems to have
swichted to "compressed" HTML with less newlines recently while the
perlbrew code is relying heavily on those newlines being present for
parsing the HTML. Please consider to following: - use the machine-
readable list at http://www.cpan.org/MIRRORED.B Y for mirror selection -
try to avoid using HTML parsing in other places and use machine-readable
sources (if possible) - fix the HTML parsing if machine readable sources
are not available
