the article says:
Fourth, library quality and usefulness (more subjective here). There’s a lot of overlap and, well, cruft on CPAN. There are over 300 Acme (joke) modules.
well, that reminds me of a famous quote of
merlyn:

Because Perl's so durn easy to use we got time to play around impressi
+ng
each other. :)
(at
comp.lang.perl.misc)
so even the number of libraries/modules doesn't tell you how
great a repository is. in perl, many things aren't needed which
are in other languages (and probably the other way round).
just adding this as another thought.
