in the Perl NOC, search.cpan.org is going to redirect all traffic to MetaCPAN
from 25th of June 2018. We are doing lots of work to prepare for this
trebling of traffic.

## Can I _automatically_ redirect links pointing at search.cpan.org to metacpan.org?

For Chrome users, the [MetaCPAN
redirect](https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/metacpan-redirect/ojemidgoiffinacbckopjjndlobmgpmk)
extension will automatically rewrite search.cpan.org links to MetaCPAN.

You can accomplish the same thing by modifying your <code>hosts</code> file
(*Note*: these IP addresses may have to change over time, as we move servers,
so come back here to check, if things stop working).
Add the following lines and all links to search.cpan.org (and links to source
code) will be redirected to MetaCPAN:

5.153.225.19 search.cpan.org
5.153.225.19 cpansearch.perl.org

If you do this, be sure to point cpanm to another mirror, as it defaults to
search.cpan.org. Here's how:

export PERL_CPANM_OPT="--mirror http://www.cpan.no/" # Insert your closest mirror here.

## Can I _manually_ redirect links pointing at search.cpan.org to metacpan.org?

If you find yourself to be on search.cpan.org and you want to get redirected to
corresponding metacpan page, just change the domain name with
search.**m**cpan.org. For example:

http://search.cpan.org/~xsawyerx/MetaCPAN-API-0.43/lib/MetaCPAN/API.pm

has to be changed to:

http://search.mcpan.org/~xsawyerx/MetaCPAN-API-0.43/lib/MetaCPAN/API.pm

## What is the relation of MetaCPAN to author-*.json and the data in a PAUSE account?
