Zybocodes is billed as an "online code repository". Perl has such a repository: CPAN. Please enumerate some advantages of Zybocodes over CPAN, with respect to the Perl language.

Here are some CPAN features:

• It is an enormous repository of Perl modules (libraries) and scripts.
• It is ever-expanding.
• Everyone can contribute.
• It has a well-established set of guidelines for contributing good quality code.
• It is easily searchable.
• It has an automated mecahnism for testing code and reporting test results.
• It has a rating system.
• It offers a consistent way of viewing documentation and source code, providing examples of usage and installation methods.
• Many code authors routinely update their code, fixing bugs and adding features.

This is not to say that all code on CPAN is of high quality. However, the readily-available information mentioned above makes it easier to judge quality.
