from http://cpan.org The Comprehensive Perl Archive Network (CPAN) currently has 120,503* Perl modules in 27,343 distributions, written by 10,570 authors, mirrored on 270 servers.* from https://pypi.python.org/pypi The Python Package Index is a repository of software for the Python programming language. There are currently 30088* packages here.* ~~from wikipedia:~~ ~~How to Lie with Statistics~~ Cheers Rolf ( addicted to the Perl Programming Language)	[reply]

from ... The cited source denies the existence of these CPAN-like things And you're just quoting the same numbers they quoted, where is the lie?	[reply]

Seems like I was wrong! Mea culpa! :( I got confused by ambiguous definitions of the term "package" in Python and when browsing thru Gems I had the impression to see only bare modules. Maybe it's just me or a matter of practice but neither PyPi nor Gems seem to have the usability of CPAN. Striked the lie. Cheers Rolf ( addicted to the Perl Programming Language) update anyway digging deeper into the differences of CPAN, PyPi and Gems reveals a huge quality advantage. just read some of the hits for CPAN vs PyPi	[reply]
