We can not rely only on the source repository of the author to get the original source. First, too few authors advertise the place of that repository in their metadata. Then, the author may decide to make it private, or delete it completely. Look at what happened to Marcel Grunauer 200+ modules when he dropped his Github account in August 2011...
The only reliable archive is the CPAN. This is where the source must be.
This is why I hate tools that transform the original source : PodWeaver, Dist::Zilla::Plugin::ExtraTests...

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
