cpan.loader - archive Perl modules from CPAN

Hi SWH folks,

I would like to know if is there any plan or work-in-progress to preserve Perl modules from CPAN.org? CPAN[1] has a incredible archive containing 196,752 Perl modules and 42,031 distributions, also CPAN has a tradition to archive old versions of all modules through BackPan[2], which increase still more the total number of modules, but I'm not sure how much.

I'm interested in collaborate in this but I have no experience on SWH dev stack, also have no idea how much effort is to add a new loader on SWH, then this task here is a first step in it to know if there is already any kind of cpan.loader or if makes sense to have it on SWH.

Thanks, Joenio Marques da Costa CorTexT platform / RISIS2.eu project
