Re: Proposal - Update shortcuts pointing to cpan.org to link to mcpan.org

Might be a bit clumsy but could there be a [metacpan] next to each link. Personally I much prefer the metacpan pages.

Personally, I like the idea of having a primary link to CPAN and secondary link to metaCPAN. I might be old-fashioned and prefer CPAN, but I admit that the recent amount of downtime for CPAN is annoying. You must always remember that the primary goal is to *drain the swamp* even when you are hip-deep in alligators.	[reply]

That seems like a reasonable idea to me. If the links are convertible, it could go both ways even: EG cpan(mcpan) and mcpan(cpan).	[reply]
