Well, that's the author's choice…. Looks much less wierd to me than this
in any case:

SRC_URI=${SRC_URI%/*}/Inline/${SRC_URI##*/}

I didn't want to introduce new variables, but yes, that'd be another
option.  But CPAN_AUTHOR is really not used for anything else than
constructing the download URL AFAIK.
