Why do you need the link to the latest version in META.yml?


I guess the document itself can contain a link to the latest verrsion. Something like: The latest version of this document can be found at <http://search.cpan.org/~kwilliams/Module-Build/>.
Leaving off the version so search pulls up the latest.

On you mean the spec itself, yes then as you said by yourself using search.cpan.org/search will do the trick.
http://search.cpan.org/search?query=Module-Build


I'd like to see the spec living in its own package, as Module-Build is not the only user any longer.

Also Graham, it'd be really nice to have search.cpan.org support 'exact match', many times I want to link to a module in the docs using search.cpan.org, and ?query=Foo::Bar is not the best choice as it gives you more than one matches most of the time and sometimes the right choice is not on the top. I think only when you say: ?query=Foo::Bar&mode=module it gives you that module first (e.g. search for CGI). But I want to be able to link directly to the latest version (that you get to after following one of the links from the search's output) and not search output.
