I might be imagining things, but I'm sure that in the past, when I went to look up a module on cpan.org that I'd have a table of contents that contained a module's functions/methods list within a link/URL format, all nice and neat in order.

I remember complaining about that like 5 years ago when search.cpan.org became metacpan. On the old cpan the table of contents of a pod was embedded in the same logical fixed location. The metacpan puts the toc in different places depending on canvas size and sometimes it even disappears! This is all by design, bad web design...
