homepage-for-cpan-package-contains-version should also check for
metacpan.org URLs in addition to search.cpan.org.
I'm attaching a patch which extends the check and improves the
examples in the description a bit (author-style URLs were never a
good idea; this might even be an additional check :)).
Cheers,
gregor
