Short-links to MetaCPAN?

http://www.perlmonks.org?node_id=935071

Hi all,

Would anyone else find it useful if we had a short-code to link to MetaCPAN? Something like [mcpan://AE] -> https://metacpan.org/module/AE].

Cheers,

Anneli

It would definitely be useful, as I see especially in the Monastery that people like MetaCPAN better then Search CPAN. --perl.j	[reply]

I vote for `[mpan://Module::Name` The mantra of every experienced web application developer is the same: thou shalt separate business logic from display. Ironically, almost all template engines allow violation of this separation principle, which is the very impetus for HTML template engine development. -- Terence Parr, "Enforcing Strict Model View Separation in Template Engines"	[reply] [d/l]
