 For reasons as yet unknown to me, CPAN has changed their HTML so that many
 plaintext strings are now encoded using numeric character entities. This
 breaks the existing livecheck.regex pattern because the module name it
 looks for is now in encoded form.

 Here is a patch that uses some new(?) JavaScript code in each page as the
 target for the regex pattern. Since it's a simpler pattern, this may be
 preferable even in the case where CPAN reverts back to the unencoded
 strings.
