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:
SuperGumby> OH, and reading this group daily (if only it wasn't quite
+so busy).
SuperGumby> PS Why does it appear perl programmers are so damned obses
+sed with

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.

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).
