Thank you for the link toolic.

Looking at that thread I notice the attention is more on CPAN authors rather than specific modules (at least in the 'Best' answer). I can definitely understand that. I know when I was first studying design I looked at examples from my favorite creatives and firms rather than seeking out specific types of work (posters, books etc). The possible problem I can see happening is that EVERYONE has done some bad work. So while it was pretty easy for me as a beginner to dismiss the poorer works of Herbert Matter, Aleksander Rodchenko or the Bauhaus I think (at least for me personally) it would be more difficult to do the same with CPAN authors without much more experience.

I'm sure you and others have better thoughts on whether to look for good examples by module, author or a little of both. This is just my initial sense.
