in reply to Direct links to module documentation
D'oh - I messed up the quoting on that node and I can't even edit and change it ... Stupid me :(
So here's the "real" version :
Perlmonks already has some Perl documentation online, available under the various keywords of the documentation, mostly perlman: and perlfunc:. When mentioning module names like HTTP::Message, the engine dosen't find that node here and on the Not found-page, there is a hint like "Maybe you want the CPAN information for HTTP::Message.
What I would like would be another prefix like for example CPAN: so I could reference documentation for a module available on CPAN directly from a node. The engine for that should be relatively simple if there is any provision of parsing node links for a prefix. Another addition along the same lines would be a link to the RFCsearch engine so that RFCs could be referenced using [RFC:2068].
Of course, all of this can already currently be done by looking up the "right" link and using <A href="...">, so it's not really necessary but the lazy ones among us (that is, I :)) would benefit from that, as would the persons needing the links to RFCs and CPAN documentation.
