OK, I stand corrected. Then the problem is why don't those pages show up higher when you search on google? They come back fast enough, I suppose they are static, can anyone confirm this? There doesn't seem to be a robots.txt preventing them to be spidered, so they should be indexed. I guess it becomes a social (for lack of a better term) instead of a technical issue: this is what we should link to when we want to reference a module. The fact that I did not know about those shows first that I am quite dumb, but also that even someone who should know about it, well... doesn't. Should we spread the word (through the FAQ? I can post something on PerlMonks) that this should be the proper way to reference modules? -- Michel Rodriguez Perl & XML http://www.xmltwig.com
