Description Jack 2019-05-26 23:17:34 UTC
HOMEPAGE points to http://makemaker.org which has nothing to do with Perl.  (It also points to https://metacpan.org/release/ExtUtils-MakeMaker which should be sufficient.
Comment 1 Kent Fredric (IRC: kent\n) (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2019-05-27 06:34:50 UTC
Evidence indicates it *used* to be valid:

https://web.archive.org/web/20040615200702/http://www.makemaker.org/

But I guess the registration lapsed and got taken over.
Comment 2 Jack 2019-05-27 14:51:21 UTC
Thanks for the research.  Looking through that archive, it seems the registration expired March, 2015, was parked for a year, used for some blog for a bit, and converted to it's current form in 2017.  Fortunately, I think the CPAN link is sufficient by itself.
