When you use a CPAN module other than your standard modules, chances are that you can gain practical insight for your problem by other users of similar module(s).

We can setup a mechanism here, where you can become a "module user" and add a module to your 'used modules' list.

A search mechanism can reveal the 'most current users' of 'the module' with whom you can strike up the conversation, which could be problem domain specific rather than just Perl or that module specific. Also other 'module users' would be able to share common wisdom for the module in addition of what 'module author' has to say.

Being aware that problem in question should be the center of the attention, I think that the references via the modules would be useful unless and untill we categorize problems domain-wise including cross-descipline domains.

It will also promote the good use of modules and in the process may establish a formal mechanism of checking the references for modules.

However much of this goes through SOPW, I think a formal mechanism would be more useful in this reagard.
