30 <p>A Complete History of CPAN.</p>
34 <p>The <a href="http://cpan.org" target="_blank">Comprehensive Perl Archive Network (CPAN)</a> is a very useful
35 collection of Perl code. However, authors of modules can delete older versions of modules to only
36 let CPAN have the latest version of a module and BackPAN is where these deleted modules are backed up.</p>
37 <p>BackPAN.org is a project created by <a href="http://search.cpan.org/~wreis/" target="_blank">Wallace Reis</a>
