Too wide for my typical browser window. I think the current design is easier to scan.

  The search results contained a very, very long module name that stretched everything out (i.e., an edge case). What do you think now that I've commented it out?

    I think it looks nice but I still prefer the traditional style. I like that I can scan straight down and see all the details without looking right/left.
    
    Spreading it out does have its virtues, though. However, there are long-named modules in CPAN and the design need to account for that without screwing up the whole page.

      Yeah, I just wrote some Perl to deal with that. Of course, the search.cpan code isn't public, so I don't even know what templating language I could offer it in....
