Re^2: Opera + Firefox browser Shortcut for searching CPAN

Have you tested it? Accessing perldoc of a module in CPAN is done via authors directory. Hence your solution will fail.

Alternatively this is the snippet to access perldoc.com website. Applicable for both Opera and Firefox.

Contrary to the search form at http://search.cpan.org, the redirection above appears to be case sensitive. E.g.
