grep.cpan.me has file only searching. It would be good to have a matching feature:

http://grep.cpan.me/?q=use+inc%3A%3AModule%3A%3AInstall%3A%3ADSL+file%3AMakefile.PL

which translates to: use+inc::Module::Install::DSL+file:Makefile.PL

The key feature is you're telling it to only grep on Makefile.PL files. This seems super useful.

ok then the *.pm is super confusing. I don't know how to make it more clear though :(

There's plenty of space on the initial screen to move it down and clarify what are possible values in this field. What do you think?

Why not adding a Note below the search to explain some basic usages
