True for the link you provided, not true for the general case. If I search for Text:: modules, I get a bunch of results, if I then inspect these, you see: nothing.

Ok, probably I use CPAN the wrong way, but for the past few years this way is how I get an overview.

    Is so true for the general case :-)

    If I search for Text:: modules, I get a bunch of results, if I then inspect these, you see: nothing.

    Follow the link to the distribution page at the top of the documentation page (also on the search results page) and you'll see the links I talked about. They're there for every distribution on CPAN.

      He's got a point though -- it would be nice, when you get 5-10 pages of results, to be able to see immediately which ones suck (or even to sort by inverse suckage!), without having to click through to each.
