Here at perlmonks, we suggest the right module for given work. We can put our suggestions in the system where it will be easy for us to find.

I am not sure if this has been discussed or implemented, but IMHO, tagging CPAN modules by perlmonks can become be a nice application in similar resepct to http://del.icio.us/.

If tagged by individual user under his/her username, we can also maitain persepctive. So, for example, you can tag AnyDBM_File module as 'datafile' or 'database'.

Additionally, we can provide links to the module or its ratings and supesearch and google. People can write personal comments about the modules as well. We usually do this on individual/mental level. If we make it as combined effort, all of this can become beneficial in the long run.

We can also develop a similar system with perlmonks nodes.
