umh... Sounds saner (I was about to suggest changing [[:digit:]].* to
[\d_.]+   - I'm a bit unsure about requiring the first \d, would .01
be a valid version? Or on requiring the version number to be two
characters wide - 1 is a valid version as well...)

About the list of supported schemes, I'd just drop rar, as it is a
very seldom used format, which requires a nonfree extractor most of
the time. The free unrar supports only ancient versions AFAIK.

And... Well, why are you using search.cpan.org instead of
www.cpan.org/modules/by-module/Module-Name ? It works, of course, but
it's easier just to copy the string over to wget ;-)
