It would be nice to grab the write distribution when you just supply a module within that distribution but it doesn't match exactly with the distribution name. The first match on a Modules search almost always gets the corresponding distribution. Example: cpan2rpm HTTP::Request -> libwww-perl cpan2rpm Net::SSLeay -> Net_SSLeay.pm cpan2rpm Pod::Man -> podlators cpan2rpm Pod::Parser -> PodParser I think an algorithm someting like this may work: http://search.cpan.org/search?query=$module&mode=module m@<a\s+href="([^<>]+/)">@ # The first link that ends with / # will always provide the distribution link # instead of /dist/$module/

Here's a really tough one: cpan2rpm Test::More -> Test-Simple Not sure how to do the fussy logic on this beast.

this kind of work is what CPAN does. I'm not sure we should spend time reinventing the wheel here... perhaps we should consider working on CPAN.pm or its successor.
