When wouldn't [cpan://Foo::Bar] translate into http://search.cpan.org/dist/Foo-Bar/? When the module is not a distribution?
What? *shock* All the time.
Tk::Frame does not translate into http://search.cpan.org/dist/Tk-Frame/.
CGI::Cookie does not translate into http://search.cpan.org/dist/CGI-Cookie/.
....

as Corion noted, search.cpan.org itself takes care of this and returns the link as it is now.
No it doesn't.
http://search.cpan.org/search?mode=dist&query=Tk%3A%3AFrame (aka http://search.cpan.org/dist/Tk::Frame/) is most definetly not the same as
http://search.cpan.org/search?mode=module&query=Tk%3A%3AFrame which is not the same as
http://search.cpan.org/search?mode=all&query=Tk%3A%3AFrame.

I don't know why you care so much about google ranking, but your proposal wouldn't help the situation (not that I care about google rankings).

I run a Win32 PPM repository for perl 5.6.x and 5.8.x -- I take requests (README).
