The question is, would it have helped others? IOW is there a need?

Well ... searching CPAN for ELF is easy.

I'm still puzzled what the tree view should display ...

My original thought was to look for likely places an ELF reader module might fit in the CPAN namespace hierarchy so a tree browser that started with everything below the top level namespaces collapsed made some sense. I guess my mind blocked out the top level ELF namespace as being inappropriate at that level - even though I knew it was there from the simple search you mentioned.

There is Discipulus's prior art for searching CPAN packages so maybe I don't need to reinvent that wheel? :-)
