Personalizing the linkers

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 ...

In general, if you think something isn't in Perl, try it out, because it usually is. :-)

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) - tye	[reply]

I'd like my cpan:// linker to do mode=all&n=100 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.) A word spoken in Mind will reach its own level, in the objective world, by its own weight	[reply] [d/l]
