in thread metacpan link shortcut?

I'm taking that as a confirmation that there is no documentation. Source diving is not an acceptable substitute.

Yup, there is no documentation

But, FWIW, there really isn't anything worth documenting anyway

You really don't need to use author: to find an author by name

As for dist:, you're provided with a search form on the distributions page -- if you make the connection, you make it :)

    I beg to differ. The mere fact that one doesn't have to use a certain interface/feature doesn't mean it's not worth documenting.

    Where is this "distributions page"?

    I reckon we are the only monastery ever to have a dungeon stuffed with 16,000 zombies.
