Difficult? http://search.cpan.org/search?query=CGI&mode=module First hit. I agree though that it’s weird that CGI.pm doesn’t show up at all with `query=CGI;mode=all` (I checked). It only shows up at #295 if you use `query=CGI;mode=dist`, but shows up as the first hit for `query=CGI.pm;mode=dist`. Taking a step back and looking at `query=CGI.pm;mode=all`, you’ll see that the CGI::* modules in the CGI.pm-distro all show up at pretty high spots. Maybe search.cpan.org is biased against exact matches on modules without `::` in their name, possibly in order to rank down pragmata? I have no idea. My educated guess is that if the CGI.pm distro was called CGI and the summary mentioned CGI (eg. in parentheses behind the spelled- out form), it would fare much better.
