He didn't push it to CPAN, his dotfiles repo is not on CPAN. Please do not spread misinformation.

Edit: The CPAN thing is different. It contains a directory whose name is "perl6-nigger", you can find it at http://backpan.perl.org/authors/id/T/TY/TYIL/Perl6/App-Cpan6...

From the article:

Riedel's complaint to the board points out that this isn't Spek's first racism rodeo. CPAN still offers downloads containing a 2017-era tarball from Spek with a folder named "perl6-n[word]". We downloaded the linked file and can verify that it's still available from CPAN, and it does in fact contain that folder.

OTOH, he did push a funny-named package to CPAN, as seen in OP's screenshots.
