 Clearly the distfile you received, wherever you received it from, was
 faulty, since it was zero size.

 Yes, and since there are several entries in the perl mirror list whose
 hostnames no longer resolve, it is possible that, because the user's DNS
 servers misbehave, these defunct hostnames now resolve to some different
 server that returns this bad result. We should remove those defunct
 entries, while also the user should switch to standards-compliant DNS
 servers to prevent similar problems in the future.

 That is true, but since the port uses the same version of IO::Socket::SSL
 for each perl version, if there is a problem, then it still affects the
 remaining subports.
