I've seen this recently on CPAN; it's actually kind of neat and actually pretty helpful overall. Though, as you noted:

...information is automated, relating the appearance of modules referenced in the same article. This automation is good because it is automatically maintained, but it is dull sometimes relating, for example, LWP::UserAgent and Data::Dumper...

It is a lot like the Amazon.com strategy of the Other people who looked at this item also looked at.... And although the CPAN version just says Related Modules, I have generally just used in the spirit of the Amazon.com strategy.

There is certainly room for improvement, IMHO, but is still a nice addition to CPAN.
