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.
