[Bangalore-pm] CPAN to MetaCPAN auto-redirect

[SundaraRaman R]

Long ago (ok, more like a month ago), I'd lamented the fact that Google and
most other places link us to cpan.org pages of modules rather than the much
better metacpan.org pages, in a thread here. I came across this blog
post<http://perlhacks.com/2013/01/give-me-metacpan/>while searching
for a solution to this today, which led me to this script:
CPAN to METACPAN <http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/157649> - "Spot CPAN
pages and automagically redirect to METACPAN equivalent". It's a
Greasemonkey userscript, so needs Greasemonkey installed on your Firefox
first (will probably work on Chrome too with the Tampermonkey addon,
haven't tried it there).

It adds a few seconds delay to the pageload time due to the extra
redirects, but I'm sufficiently Lazy that this is worth it. :) Hope someone
else here finds this useful too.

Cheers,
Sundar
