I've been trying to install the LWP bundle for several days.
I saw that URI-1.34.tar.gz was unavailable. I had to go to
http://cpan.n0i.net/modules/by-module/URI/ to download
URI-1.35.tar.gz.
Why does cpan go after the old version?

Stale local index cache?

The cpan:modules/02packages.details.txt.gz index points to URI-1.35 as
it should.
