While I'm sad to see search.cpan.org go, as it's my preferred site, I expect that we will change the mod:// and dist:// shortcuts to the metacpan site.

Why not wait and see how they do the redirect?	[reply]

The redirect, however it works, will be a temporary solution at best. A kludg. If metacpan is to be "the" "authoritative" index site for perl modules etc., then the pm shortcuts will be modified to go straight there. It's not like this sort of thing hasn't happened in the past already. I reckon we are the only monastery ever to have a dungeon stuffed with 16,000 zombies.	[reply]
