Of course!  If you'd like a zip of a recent version of the ElasticSearch index, I can get it to you.  That way you could run your own web service locally on the plane to test it out.  You just need Java and about 256MB RAM

I'm in the process of adding more info from the META.yml to the distribution info.  Repository URLs are next on the list, so  you should be able to run some queries to check which Dancer plugins do or don't have the URLs available in the META.yml files.  That also makes it easy to link to Github etc right from the site.

You could also pull in the POD if you want to display it directly on the site.  For example, the POD for Dancer::Cookbook in HTML and plain text would be:

http://api.metacpan.org/pod/Dancer::Cookbook

I'll also be adding pure POD to that info in the near future, in case you want to process it yourself in some special way.
