I can mass update spec files for all Perl packages. I submitted this Fedora 29
change request <https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/Perl_Move_to_MetaCPAN>
and this packaging guidelines request
<https://pagure.io/packaging-committee/issue/770>.

If it is approved, I will try to do that before Perl 5.28 mass rebuild so
that the change becomes visible in Fedora 29 release.

I propose rewriting both URL and Source tags like this:

-URL:            http://search.cpan.org/dist/CPANPLUS/
+URL:            https://metacpan.org/release/CPANPLUS
-Source0:        http://www.cpan.org/authors/id/B/BI/BINGOS/CPANPLUS-%{cpan_version}.tar.gz
+Source0:        https://cpan.metacpan.org/authors/id/B/BI/BINGOS/CPANPLUS-%{cpan_version}.tar.gz

Are you fine with it?

While the old addresses will probably work, I believe it makes sense to update
them because:

(1) The less intermediary steps to the final location, the better. (Fewer
    things can get broken.) 
(2) It's good when a user see the same address in RPM and in his web browser.
