Correcting details for a CPAN module.

I've recently uploaded a package into CPAN (MathML::Entities::Approximate), and it appears in search.cpan.org - however the details are incomplete:

There is a link to the pod, and my CPAN ID.

All the other packages have a short description on the first line, and then a second line with several items: a link to a page detailing the package, then the date of the file and the name of the maintainer (linked to a page of further details)

Is there some file in my distribution file that I set these, or does CPAN automagically extract these itself?
