If it's on BackPAN, it won't be installed. You have to manually fetch it from there, and typically, most users wouldn't be familiar with the process when their 50-distribution project installation fails because something can't be found on the CPAN.
Cleaning up your PAUSE versions just means removing the ones that aren't relatively current. If you remove the dist entirely from the CPAN (all versions essentially), it won't be found using typical CPAN tools period.
ie. Standard CPAN tools don't go looking through BackPAN for previous versions. Those are considered legacy (at least this is my understanding).

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).
