  The author's name is "Logvinov", which has the same Soundex code as "lesbian". From an earlier discussion (which I can't find -- maybe it wasn't on use.perl.org), it seems that search.cpan.org does a Soundex search on the author section if it can't find anything else (or maybe always, though I'd expect that to lead to more frequent weird results).

    Indeed. For example, try searching for "demon" amongst CPAN authors [cpan.org]

    ;-)
