I took over maintenance of Business::CreditCard from Jon Orwant and
uploaded a version with a proper installation support on February 1st.
If you're having problems with Business::CreditCard 0.22 or above, report

mirror is not giving you the 0.22 version, you should switch to one that
isn't months out-of-date.

installation procedure until recently.  :)
