perl-CDDB-get is not outdated! Do not ask me to update it fo 2.28.1.

So, why is perl-CDDB-get at version 2.28 when there's a version 2.28.1
that's newer?

Because 2.28 is the official version on CPAN, put there by the author.
The 2.28.1 is only available from backpan, whose whole purpose is to
archive CPAN modules that were deleted by their authors...

And it looks like 2.28.1 was actually a typo on upstream's part anyway
(author intended to release 2.28 in the first place). If you extract
the 2.28 and 2.28.1 sources:

As you can clearly see, the *only* difference is the version number.
*Nothing else* (none of the code) has changed.

Also, did you notice the timestamps in the diff? 2.28's CDDB_get.pm
is actually newer than the one from 2.28.1.

Why does it matter? Because it's easier to check for future updates
if I stick with a metacpan.org download rather than backpan.perl.org.
