The MetaCPAN API should make something like that pretty easy.

Here's a list of modules from the distribution name...

perl -MLWP::Simple -MJSON -MURI::Escape -E'my $data = from_json get sprintf "http://api.metacpan.org/v0/module/_search?q=distribution:%s+AND+module.indexed:true+AND+status:latest&fields=release,path,module&size=4999", uri_escape shift; say for map { sprintf "%s %s", $_->{name}, $_->{version} } map { @{$_->{fields}{module}} } @{$data->{hits}{hits}}' Moose

... I leave the reverse as an exercise for the reader.

perl -E'sub Monkey::do{say$_,for@_,do{($monkey=[caller(0)]->[3])=~s{::}{ }and$monkey}}"Monkey say"->Monkey::do'

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
