libpackage-locator-perl is:

Package::Locator attempts to answer the question: “Where a distribution that will provide this package?” The answer is divined by searching the indexes for one or more CPAN-like repositories. If you also provide a specific version number, Package::Locator will attempt to find a distribution with that version of the package, or higher. You can also ask to find the latest version of a package across all the indexes.
