Are all CPAN modules supposed to be listed on metacpan.org?

Hi, I'm looking into broken URLs of Fedora packages of (inter alia) CPAN modules, in the following picking https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/perl-Config-IniHash as a random example. This Fedora package refers to https://metacpan.org/release/Config-IniHash which redirects to https://metacpan.org/dist/Config-IniHash which is 404. The source URL however, https://cpan.metacpan.org/authors/id/J/JE/JENDA/Config-IniHash-3.01.01.tar.gz, works nicely, as does some metadata file at https://www.cpan.org/modules/by-authors/id/J/JE/JENDA/Config-IniHash-3.01.01.meta. If I go to https://metacpan.org/author/JENDA, Config-IniHash is not listed there. If I search for "Config-IniHash" (https://metacpan.org/search?size=20&q=Config-IniHash) or "Config::IniHash" (https://metacpan.org/search?size=20&q=Config%3A%3AIniHash) on metacpan.org, I don't get any pertinent results. Therefore I'm interested if this is the expected result or some fault at (meta)cpan.org and thus who I need to contact to get it fixed. Does the module author have to click some button to trigger the inclusion in the database? Are all modules available at cpan.org supposed to be listed at metacpan.org? TIA, Tim
