It depends on how badly you need it. If you can patch it yourself, do that and submit the patch to the author. I'm assuming you have some build or install mechanism you use that installs known versions of your CPAN modules; just make your fixed version the one that gets installed. If you can get along without it, note in your docs that you didn't use it because it's buggy, so the next person along doesn't try to use it. (Mentioning the link to the open bug would be a nice thing to do, in case the bug gets closed.)
Fixing the bug(s) and sending a pull request to the author would be a mitzvah (and a nice way to get into the committers list).

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
