  • 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.

          Same here. Lining columns up horizontally would be nice, but spreading the whole thing over the entire page width is a no-no.

            How wide works for you?

            • Works in what sense? I’d prefer the data arranged primarily vertically, in a table something like this:

              +-----------------------+----+-------+------------+
              |                            |                    |
              | Module::Name               | xxxoo (1 review)   |
