Re: Perl Monks += TMTOWTDI

May be we should establish a formal mechanism to introduce useful modules here.

I guess that is what the reviews section was meant for? I think "review" does not mean that the module has to be new, or extraordinary. A thorough review, with pros/cons, information about related modules, some code samples etc. is always useful, whether you already knew the module or not.

Current --->: Modules for which reviews are written: Of course, Module Reviews are there and helpful. That is a mechanism to fully describe the module, pros and cons in great depth. It's done by author or by the users who understand the module very well enough to explain others. We do have around 92 modules reviews currently. New --->:Recently Useful Modules: I am sure that people use much more than these 92 modules. I am proposing a section in addition to module reviews, about using the modules. So if you download a module from CPAN and found it useful in your code than you can post that information here as how it was useful to you. You may not have time to review it, but others can pickup your pointer and explore it further for the purposes similar to yours and other. This will be useful to perlmonks who want to keep up with the latest work without too much searching or analyzing. May be we can associate keywords with the module-node. It is to see which modules are used via perlmonks. Discussion on the same would provide valuable information for which 90% code (modules) should be used. Artist	[reply]
