Pod People, I got a pull request to switch to metacpan.org for L<> http links. AFAIK search.cpan.org is not deprecated, and is still the official community CPAN search site. If there is some discussion about changing it, or if Graham thinks it's time to switch then great. Otherwise, I am not inclined to accept this patch (though if it is hard to change the default URL with a subclass I would be happy to take that, or a command-line option).
But I thought it ought to be subject to discussion here before I make any unilateral (and potentially uninformed) decisions. Comments? Thanks, David Begin forwarded message: > All L<> markup now uses metacpan.org instead of search.cpan.org, as per this > misfiled ticket: https://rt.perl.org/rt3/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=114420 > > I haven't talked to the metacpan folks about this yet though, so strictly > speaking the acknowledgements section regarding use of the site is still a > lie.
