Nice node..

On the note of the questions at the end, I have to say thats what this community is all about. I firmly agree with that.

On a different note I think part of the issue is CPAN's organization of modules, and what information can be garnished about modules quickly. Imagine if you did a search for say URI on CPAN, and instead of getting all of the URI:: modules, and anything that has URI in its name or description, you get a list of modules starting from most frequent downloads to least frequent downloads.. Then you could quickly see what modules are being used more by the community at large, as well as close runner-ups. This way your search space has been cut down drastically and you can compare similar modules functionality as you see fit, without wasting time working with modules whose names sound close, but don't provide what you thought they did..

But that leads to newer modules possibly being totally ignored as people see the most frequent d/l and simply go with that as opposed to a newer module which may fix "features" in other similar modules.. So I'm not sure what to say aside from I think CPAN could have better sorting and searching capabilities

MMMMM... Chocolaty Perl Goodness.....

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
