I *think* it's because version 0.010000 contains module Marpa::UrHTML
which isn't in 0.104000. So, as Marpa-0.010000 contains the most recent
version of Marpa::UrHTML, the distribution goes into the CPAN index.
Marpa-0.104000 is *also* in the index because it contains the most
recent version of Marpa.pm.
You can see this in the 02packages file.
Assuming I'm right, you can fix it by deleting Marpa-0.010000 from the
CPAN (there's an interface for this on pause.cpan.org) and waiting a few
days for the deletion to propagate out to everywhere.
