Why don't new module versions appear in CPAN?

Question

So, I'm trying to install Pod::ProjectDocs, and this is required Syntax::Highlight::Universal. P/PA/PALANT/Syntax-Highlight-Universal-0.4.tar.gzfrom CPAN it is not possible to build my machine for some reason, but I downloaded M/MI/MISHOO/Syntax-Highlight-Universal-0.5.tar.gzit and it works fine with perl Makefile.PL && & make && to do the test && make install.

Version 0.4 was added to cpan in 2005 and 0.5 in 2009.

So the question is: although a newer version (by another author?) Has been in CPAN for some time, why doesn't it appear when I search for it? This is not reflected CPAN::Mini, apparently, because it is not in 02packages.details.txt, but who decides what is going on there?
