For my part I was supremely grateful for search.cpan.org ever since I discovered it almost two decades ago. Until metacpan.org launched, even with some initial bugs and index drop-outs; which were addressed quickly because of the open code and better reporting/social mechanisms. At that point I was only irritated every time I used a search engine and search.capn.org was the top result and metacpan.org wasn't even on the top page; or someone linked to the former and sent me to go find that module on the latter because I prefer it enough to do so. Excepting page load speed, metacpan.org is better and preferable to me on every level; except that they didn't choose my logo in the contest. :P Mine was better than the winner.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

Want more info? How to link or
or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
