Like you said http://metacpan.org/ is up, and it is also open source, provides a web API, and is otherwise better. Better, but unfortunately not for everybody. I checked a few CPAN mirrors but all seem to send the search queries to search.cpan.org, so they are not very helpful either. It is strange that those servers are mirrors, so they have all the modules, but they need to search using search.cpan.org.
