[arch-projects] [abs] [PATCH] PKGBUILD-perl.proto: Download sources by module instead of by author

[jstjohn at purdue.edu]

From: "Jason St. John" <jstjohn at purdue.edu>

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.
