Is there a way to browse the CPAN namespace hierarchy? I'm trying to figure out the best place to fit a new module for parsing and dumping selected contents of ELF files. I've scanned through the PAUSE docs that looked most likely to lead the way, but didn't see anything.

Hmm, while preparing this question I found https://www.cpan.org/modules/01modules.index.html which is at least part of the answer, but somewhat unwieldy. Maybe I'll just have to put a Tk wrapper around that data unless someone has a suitably lazier option for me?

Update: https://ELF::Extract::Sections exists already and has a name rather like what I would want to use. However it's dependency heavy and has a pretty bad rep on cpantesters, especially for Windows builds. I did try installing ELF::Extract::Sections, but after a rather long time it failed as might have been guessed from the testers reports. I'm open to suggestions for an alternate name in the vicinity of the ELF::Extract name space.

Optimising for fewest key strokes only makes sense transmitting to Pluto or beyond
