When you look at an author page, at the bottom left there's a link "Browse CPAN directory". Eg when looking at the author page for AVERNA, you get a link to:

cpan.metacpan.org/authors/id/A/AV/AVERNA/

But that's not a CPAN author directory, it's a BackPAN author directory. It would be neat to have both:

• Browse CPAN directory
• Browser BackPAN directory

So you can see everything they've released, and everything they've currently got on CPAN. The CPAN link could just link to cpan.org/authors/id/A/AV/AVERNA

I'm guessing / hoping this is a quick change, so will have a look right after I submit this.
