New CPAN client

Current CPAN clients have limitations that I believe can not be fixed without fundamentally changing the core of how they resolve dependencies, therefor I think we need a new CPAN client.

* Thorough support for recommended and suggested dependencies (including when they get circular)
* Strong support for parallel installation (and especially parallel downloading versus installing)
* Pluggable support for installing external dependencies
* Policy based decision making (e.g. licensing or security related).

CPAN testers infra

cpantesters has been operating in a degraded state for quite a while. I look forward to working with preaction and others to stabilize the existing systems where possible.

Breno Oliveira (‎garu‎)

I am particularly interested in bridging the gap between MetaCPAN and other essential toolchain projects such as CPAN Testers and CPANSec, making them more visible and useful to developers.
