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.


If you are trying to link to the POD of a module, then you should be using /perldoc?CGI

No, I want to be able to link to the distribution dir, e.g.:
http://search.cpan.org/~lds/CGI.pm-3.00/
without that -3.00 version in the path, so it'll always point to the latest distro.
