Here is my sites.xml for Searchling. Just drop it in as a replacement for your current sites.xml file (in Searchling.app/Contents/Resources) and restart Searchling, and you get shiny CPAN search options.
(oh, and the ebay searches ebay.co.uk, so you might want to change that back).

> Mozilla requires you to click out of the location bar
Mozilla->Preferences->Navigator->Smart Browsing
check Enable Internet Keywords
click "More Information"
it will explain how to edit your user.js to have google as your "keywords" server (basically, type some words in the URL bar and enter to search google)
Note: this fails when Mozilla thinks your terms include a URL. Due to but 79655 a search for 'Mr. T.' will fail because Mozilla sees the dot and thinks you're looking for some domain name. However, all is not lost.
Mozilla->Preferences->Navigator->Smart Browsing
check automatically complete text in location bar
click advanced
check show search engine (and whatever else you like) click OK
go back to Mozilla->Preferences->Navigator->Internet Search
select Google from the menu, click OK
Now if you know Internet Keywords won't get triggered because you have a dot in your query, you can just arrow down to search google. You don't have to take your hands off the keyboard:)

(searchling is still cool to have, but the location bar is easier for me when I'm already in Mozilla)Re:Cool!

Just wait until you find out how to use the location bar to type "cpan Mac::Carbon"...
