When you do a search on metacpan (https://metacpan.org/search?q=Mojo%3A%3APg&size=20) clicking the link brings you to the pod/ page, not the release/ page.

/pod/ is where the synopsis and description are. If I'm hitting WWW to check out a module, I'm more interested in those (descriptive) sections than a list of the files in the distribution. 

That's my 2 cents.
