For the last few months I've been using a couple of Perl specific
[0]Google Co-op searches.

The [1]Perl search pulls results from 72 assorted Perl related sites
including CPAN and perldoc.perl.org. It tends to work for those questions
that you're not even sure where to ask.

Perhaps more useful is the [2]CPAN search which I find often outperforms
search.cpan.org. In particular it finds 'one word' module names like
[3]CGI or [4]FCGI both of which search.cpan.org currently overlooks.

If you have any suggestions for sites I've missed or other improvements
give me a shout.

Lately, I've been finding David Cantrell's brilliant [0]CPAN Dependencies
website easier and more useful than the CPAN Testers website itself.

The [1]CPAN Dependencies summaries are just do darned concise, while the
CPAN Testers pages for an author are much harder to read (but then the
dozen or so authors with dozens of modules tend to see these sites become
unworkable far earlier than others).

I just announced the [0]beginning of the code freeze for the release of
