I've got a module that I think might be useful to other people, and so I've been thinking of going about submitting it to CPAN. But before I do that, I'd like to know that the thing is worthy, not so much for what it does (I think that part's fine) but for how it does it; I want to know that it's good Perl.

I've been writing Perl modules for years, but always for my own personal use; I've never done one that was intended to be used by the public, and I want to make sure my coding isn't too idiosyncratic and/or stupid.

So, anyway, my question is: is there some part of PerlMonks that is appropriate for posting a small (~500 lines) module and getting general commentary on it?

Thanks for the feedback. I've gone ahead and sent an RFC to Meditations.
