FWIW, Comodo will provide basic SSL certficates as long as an email to 
one of a list of addresses they deem to be acceptable is received & a 
link within clicked on.  That list includes the admin/tech contacts for 
the domain, but also ssladmin@$hostname, admin@$hostname etc (for 
rt.cpan.org, that'd be at either rt.cpan.org or cpan.org).

Presumably, getting such an address to go to someone who can click a 
link wouldn't be hard.

At $work we deal with Comodo to offer free SSL certs to our customers; 
if anyone is interested in getting a CA-issued cert set up, feel free to 
drop me a mail.
