Some authors do keep a single repo -- or keep a single interface to all their repositories (e.g. gitweb). So it seemed like an "author-level" repository link (optional of course) might make sense. The per-distribution repository link already is supported by META.yml, so I'd just reuse that in an author.yml file if an author wants. As I said, the "easy" answer is to patch PAUSE and search.cpan.org -- but the author.yml would be a more general solution for the future. That said, I'm all for saying YAGNI. David P.S. Making sure the word "Perl" shows up on all search.cpan.org pages sounds like a great idea!
