Re: add perlmonks markup to link to cpan modules

It is extremely useful, which is why it was implemented long ago :-). See What shortcuts can I use for linking to other information?, you're looking for [cpan://CGI] for example

Perl 6 - links to (nearly) everything that is Perl 6.

Since he asked about linking to a module, he's looking for `[mod://CGI]`. `[cpan://CGI]` does a search for CGI.	[reply] [d/l] [select]

I think i found a bug. `[mod://strict#SYNOPSIS]` (live test SYNOPSIS of strict) generates strict#SYNOPSIS ( `<a href="http://search.cpan.org/perldoc?strict%23SYNOPSIS">strict#SYNOPSIS</a>` ) which isn't the same as strict#SYNOPSIS (`<a href="http://search.cpan.org/perldoc?strict#SYNOPSIS">strict#SYNOPSIS</a>`) Thanks	[reply] [d/l] [select]
