Is CPAN (Comprehensive __Perl__ Archive Network) the right place to put
projects that are forks of Perl, and respectives modules?

Then maybe you should use Google or even look at the distro, before 
making wild accusations:


http://www.nntp.perl.org/group/perl.perl5.porters/2007/04/msg123813.html
http://search.cpan.org/src/TTY/kurila-0_02/README

The Kurila project is a fork of Perl5 without the strict backwards 
compatibility required of v5.10.0, as a theoretical experiment.  You'll 
note now that under CPAN, it shows up as


** UNAUTHORIZED RELEASE **

which should make it highly unlikely that someone will install it by 
accident.

What is this Perl Kurila? and why is this (apparently) creating conflicts
with some namespaces?

Hmm: http://search.cpan.org/~tty/kurila-0_02/

Hmm: http://search.cpan.org/src/TTY/kurila-0_02/

It looks like this person, TTY, uploaded a modified version of Perl to 
his/her CPAN directory. For virtually every module in Perl 5, there is a 
rouge version provided by TTY.


I don't know what is going on. It smells like an attempt to compromise 
people's systems, although it could be a mistake.


Even if it is a mistake, it's a big one--one that the PAUSE maintainers 
should not overlook. Incompetence on this scale is a danger to CPAN.
