For things that are (nearly) objective I think it would be cool to have such a chart, and not just for "competing" modules. Say, everything to do with PDF:
  1. CPANTS pass/fail rate
  2. Most recent version
  3. Rate of new version releases
  4. Pod::Coverage result (or similar)
  5. Perl::Critic result (violation by severity?
  6. ...and so on...

All nicely sortable or course. But excluding anything you can't back up objectively, so no "five stars from me" type of stuff.

In fact it might be really cool to do that for all of CPAN and let you sort/filter/etc on it.... but I'm not volunteering, too busy myself these days.
