Sweet! Thanks Dave.

Checking in four months later: have you received any word from pmdev and gods on if we'll get a MetaCPAN linking tag?

There is now a `[metacpan:// ]` shortcut type for people to try. It just goes to the generic search form on the main page. If/when I find some documentation on specializing syntax (e.g. `dist:`, `author:`, we might add something to accommodate those in our own syntax. Otherwise/in the mean time, you can just stick that stuff into your link. `[metacpan://author:ingy]` ⇒ author:ingy. I reckon we are the only monastery ever to have a dungeon stuffed with 16,000 zombies.	[reply] [d/l] [select]
