typos fixed, link is now http://wiki.debian.org/Teams/DebianPerlGroup/Welcome

all the information is in the generated json files:
http://pkg-perl.alioth.debian.org/cpan2deb/CPAN/
the name of the file is the first 2 characters of md5sum of module name:
perl -MDigest::MD5=md5_hex -le 'print substr(md5_hex("DBI"),0,2), ".json"'

that is still possible with the md5 hashing that I use, but I was thinking that
it will be cool if someone creates a jquery cpan autocomplete plugin. so that
anyone who will have an input field with cpan module names in the future will
just load this plugin javascript and apply it on the input field so that there
are suggestions comming in.

yes, the indexes are made from all .deb files found in the Debian mirror. it
took ~2 days to decompress and index them from scratch. then the incremental
indexes are fine. my next step will be to improve the scripts so that I don't
have to keep the full mirror as it takes a lot of disk space (92G => all+i386).
once indexed the .deb file is not needed. for now the trade of diskspace for my
time is good. :)
I hope to get to write the detailed description about how it works during the
weekend.
Looks like the incremental runs destroyed the Distribution+Component records so
those were missing the days after Tuesday, now they are back again.
Cheers,
Jozef
