Do it like this:
MASTER_SITES= ${MASTER_SITE_PERL_CPAN}
MASTER_SITE_SUBDIR= ../by-authors/id/S/SA/SAXJAZMAN/Snort
See for example how this works in textproc/p5-KinoSearch
Not all modules make it into the "official list", so don't wait for
that to happen. If the author wants it listed in the list, he can
request it to be done by sending mail to the cpan masters.
