Reading through its perldelta on search.cpan, I noticed a strange
link:
http://search.cpan.org/~dapm/perl-5.10.1-RC2/pod/perl5101delta.pod#DTrace_support

The 'See "DTrace support" in INSTALL' link ends up at:
http://search.cpan.org/~capttofu/DBD-drizzle-0.300/lib/DBD/drizzle/INSTALL.pod#DTrace_support

Arguably, this quirk needs fixing on search.cpan itself, but many
people read Perl's documentation this way.

Given that INSTALL only ships with Perl's source, the link won't go
anywhere meaningful for most people.  I suggest keeping the text as-is
but removing the link.  Or maybe the link could go somewhere more
suitable.
