Silly me ... cpan.perl.com has a find by distribution, so I can just use
distribution name for everything. Though some people really might want to
know the module name. But there might not be one module name. I guess
we'll just use distribution name. Most of the time the proper distribution
is obvious.
Distribution libwww-perl Link to cpan.perl.com
Version 1.41 No link
Author GAAS Link to authors/00whois.html
Test [bullet] Link to cpan-testers
Binary [bullet] (none in this case :) Link to info about binaries!
Download 1.41 Link to port distribution
In 29.01.1999 / schinder No link
Out 29.01.1999 / schinder No link
Done 29.01.1999 / schinder No link
I won't do this for several hours yet, so let me know if you have
suggestions or problems.
Hm. Should we keep the link to the main distribution? It really wouldn't
hurt anything. Just extra info to download.
Actually, if the cpan.perl.com folks linked to CPAN Testers, we would not
need to link to CPAN Testers, either. cpan.perl.com could be the one stop
shopping for all three links: distribution, documentation, and testing.
And a link would be very easy for them to do, since they already have the
distribution name. I'll ask Eric Eisenhart about it.
