Thanks for your detailed comment. Though I'm not going to do anything as drastic as pursue an American English vs. European English flame across CPAN! Yikes!

To tell you the truth all I wanted was a way to find modules so when I type color I get the ones with Colour methods/modules too. I think a simple grep would make a big difference over the current state of affairs, hence my recommendation. Parsing need not be so involved; what pod viewers show as boldface would do I think. Even just module names would be useful. Instead we are going to have a new module called Wx::FarbFinder because a German guy likes to use the German name for color, even though CPAN is otherwise all English (except for some Japanese signatures maybe).
