However, I'm not into OO

If you can criticize any of his code, then you can suggest how to improve it. Whether or not you're "into" OO or not does not reduce your ability to suggest a better regex, data structure, etc.

It's easy to flame someone's code. I'll be far more impressed if (when?) you help him fix it.

Maybe a namespace should be introduced for new modules that haven't been reviewed yet.

This is a good idea. Splitting CPAN into reviewed/non-reviewed modules and displaying only the reviewed by default would be a very good comprimise in my opinion. The questions of who should do these reviews still remains but with a system to address judgements that are perceived unfair, it would probably work out well.

See what quality of discussion is possible when people are something resembling civil?
