in reply to Point Releases

I agree.

If this new version introduces something real important worth reporting on, then by all means, report it, otherwise, kindly clam up.

It's like announcing there is a new version of PAR out (New PAR on CPAN). That's what http://search.cpan.org/recent/ is for (also found in your CPAN Nodelets)

If the monks like, i'll be glad to stop by Perl News every day and write a few "There's a new version of module X on CPAN. Go get it." nodes.
Would anyone like that? Didn't think so.

    I would really like this, would you mind doing it? This way i have a much easier time finding out about new and improved modules that could potentially make my life easier. I suppose as a worst case condition i might *Gasp* have to read 3-4 more lines at the bottom of "Newest Nodes". Dear god, i'm sure the horror and chaos that would ensue from something like that would be utterly devestating to this amazing community we've established here.

    Or you could actually be productive and write a system that once a day checks CPAN for new module releases, lists them in a single post in Perl Announcements, and allows users to rate whether or not the given module is important enough to be listed in there.

    Or you could keep bitching and mocking other's suggestions. Your call.

      Yes I could, if I liked the idea. I don't.
