Because it's not updated in
/root/.cpan/sources/modules/03modlist.data.gz !!!
This comes from CPAN and doesn't yet have your module registered!
Making a bundle with CPAN doesn't automatically get you a CPAN Author ID
or Namespace or actually upload your distro... it only makes the
package! You need to try something else to test your module! Maybe you
need to tell CPAN to search locally for it???
