When I come across a module whose last update was many years ago, my 
first reaction is that it is unmaintained, and possibly broken when used 
under current environments.  I'll still use it, and try to fix it if 
necessary and the fix is within my skill level, it's just my first reaction.

I'd be super happy if they just updated the readme and said "2005 - no 
changes everything still works".

But I guess that attitude really smacks of exactly what you are talking 
about, the author didn't sign up to be married to this module for life. 
  As a user (never having summited my own work to CPAN), I'm guilty of 
never putting myself in the author's shoes from that standpoint.
