cpan.org Overview

Description of cpan.org

cpan.org appears to be the public homepage of the Comprehensive Perl Archive Network (CPAN), a long-established repository for Perl software modules, distributions, ports, and related resources. The page title, navigation, and visible content indicate that it serves as an index and access point for Perl packages, recent uploads, mirrors, documentation, and contribution resources.

Based on the domain name, page content, and the site's long operating history, it appears to be part of the broader Perl open-source ecosystem rather than a commercial service. The homepage references Perl.org and community-maintained archive functions, suggesting that the site is operated for software distribution and developer use by the Perl community or associated maintainers.

Safety Assessment for cpan.org

The available scan data is broadly reassuring. At the time of this scan, 0 out of 91 security engines flagged the domain, and the checked malware and threat-database sources did not report active blacklist listings for phishing or malware distribution. The domain is also very mature, with a registration age of roughly 28 years, which is generally consistent with an established technical resource.

A secondary scan referenced several external domains with generic heuristic labels, but these appear to be linked or referenced resources rather than confirmed malicious files hosted directly on cpan.org. The site itself had 0 flagged files out of 12 scanned, 0 flagged external links out of 388 checked, and the broader blacklist checks were clean. Heuristic labels on referenced domains alone are lower-confidence signals and do not, by themselves, indicate that the main site is serving malware.

Given the clean multi-engine result, clean blacklist status, strong reputation indicators, and the site's longstanding role as a software archive, based on available data, no threats were detected at the time of this scan.

Technical Description

The site is served over HTTPS with a valid TLS certificate issued by Let's Encrypt, expiring in August 2026. DNSSEC appears to be enabled and signed, which may help protect DNS integrity. The domain resolves to an IP associated with Fastly, indicating use of a major content delivery and edge hosting provider, while the reported web server identifies as Apache/2.4.63 (Unix).

From an infrastructure perspective, the setup appears consistent with a mature, professionally hosted archive service. No DNS-based blocklist hits were reported in the provided checks, and no iframe-related concerns were identified at the time of this scan.
