Perhaps this is a silly question that I should know the answer to, but is there a "canonical" url I can list for a module and always have that point to the latest version? Right now, my choices seem to be:
http://search.cpan.org/~$AUTHOR/$MODULE-$VERSION/
Or the awful search URL which returns too many results:
http://search.cpan.org/search?query=${MODULE}&mode=module
I really feel like I should know this (grr ...)
From the late Iain Truskett's use.perl journalhttp://use.perl.org/~koschei/journal/13493

Given a dist: DateTime::Format::HTTP
These are all the same page:
http://search.cpan.org/dist/DateTime-Format-HTTP http://search.cpan.org/author/SPOON/DateTime-Format-HTTP http://search.cpan.org/~spoon/DateTime-Format-HTTP http://search.cpan.org/~spoon/DateTime-Format-HTTP-0.34
And to go straight to the module's docs:
http://search.cpan.org/perldoc?DateTime::Format::HTTP -----------------------------------------------------------
Further to Iain's list above, this seems to be an alternative way to go to the module docs:
http://search.cpan.org/dist/DateTime-Format-HTTP/lib/DateTime/Format/HTTP.pm
If anyone knows of any others, please let us know.
In addition to those listed...
Modules by author:
http://search.cpan.org/~ovid/ http://search.cpan.org/author/OVID/
Any file in a specific dist:
http://search.cpan.org/src/OVID/aliased-0.11/t/10aliased.t
or any directory in a specific dist:
http://search.cpan.org/src/OVID/aliased-0.11/t/
A specific dist:
http://search.cpan.org/dist/aliased-0.11/
I use /dist/ all the time, but rarely use /author/ and /src/ directly.
