All through these blog pages, I’ve been linking to CPAN modules I’m talking about so that it’s easy for readers to find them. I knew I was linking to specific versions, but couldn’t figure out how to link to the latest version of the module. I noticed the docs for Task::Kensho do it, and am going to start doing it too.
The secret is to use links like this: http://search.cpan.org/perldoc?Task%3A%3AKensho
The %3A are the URI encoding of a : so this goes to http://search.cpan.org/perldoc and searches for the module name automatically. Neat.

You can also use links such as http://search.cpan.org/dist/Task-Kensho
And on http://search.cpan.org/ you will also find these links in the upper right corner (“perma link”). On the distributions site or on the documation for a single module.
You can also use http://p3rl.org/Tash::Kensho link.
Well, apparently you can use that link but it wouldn’t be useful.
I think Jakub meant http://p3rl.org/Task%3A%3AKensho, though I don’t see the advantage over going directly to search.cpan.org.
You can also use http://p3rl.org/Tash::Kensho link.
