From: "Jason St. John" CPAN apparently changed the by-authors download URL structures because http://cpan.perl.org/modules/by-authors/id/$_author/ does not work anymore. The directory structure appears to be 'by-authors/id/<first letter>/<first two letters>/$_author', which significantly reduces the usefulness of _author in the default PKGBUILD. I changed the source array to download by module instead of by author to make things simple. The _author variable is no longer needed, and I added a _modnamespace variable to handle CPAN's URL format.
