Yes, but this is probably a good thing.

Currently you'd need to write a few lines of code to get at the list,
like, say:

  % perl -e '
  use CPAN;
  for $m (CPAN::Shell->expand("Module","/./")){
    next unless $m->dslip_status->{S} eq "a";
    print $m->id, "\n";  
  }                      
  '                      
  CPAN: Term::ANSIColor loaded ok (v1.10)
  CPAN: Storable loaded ok (v2.15)
  Going to read /home/sand/.cpan/Metadata
    Database was generated on Sat, 06 Sep 2008 05:03:24 GMT
  CPAN: YAML::Syck loaded ok (v0.71)
  Going to read /home/sand/.cpan/build/

Anybody can set up a website to publish this list. It should probably
also on PAUSE. Yes, will do, that way it is always uptodate.
