As a long term user I was a little surprised you didn't know about cpan ratings,

I probably wouldn't have used them if I had.

I tend to look inside modules and make my own judgements; but I'm not the audience that is bitten by modules like Switch sorting to the top of the search.

    There's no substitute for proper investigation, the ratings have a purpose which IMHO they address. Hidden ratings, from what I've seen so far, are SPAM or low quality post.

      There's no substitute for proper investigation,

      Agreed, but it presupposes the wherewithal to do that investigation. Without a good level of understanding, making quality judgements about code is a big ask.

        Absolutly. The ratings service, or rather it's intended target audience (as described above) would benefit greatly from your expertise.
