in reply to Goodbye search.cpan.org

Can something please be done to just stop this nonsense?

As an active developer I use search.cpan.org every working day!

My browser history shows an average of 20 visits per day in the past month.

It's a PERFECT website. The form and function are impeccable. It must remain!


Not only should we save it but really search.cpan.org or something exactly like it belongs in the Perl core so we could simply do things like:

pydoc -g
http://localhost:7464/

gem server
http://localhost:8808/

php -S localhost:8080
http://localhost:8080/

Like search.cpan.org for local modules:

perldoc -port:8888
http://localhost:8888/
