I'd like my cpan:// linker to do mode=all&n=100. The default is mode=module.

Maybe have a setting that allows you to define your own link methods? The defaults would be provided, but you can change your linkers if you want ...

        Yes, because you never provided code that does such customization w/o opening up the server to denial of service (or worse) attacks. (insert emoticon)

    This is now possible. Put (e.g.) mode=all&n=100 in the "Customize CPAN link options" field of your User Settings.

    (It's actually been possible since about 2005-04; I'm just posting here for thread closure.)
