I hope this new site is a great success. However, based on past history, the odds are against it. From Writing Solid CPAN Modules (Jan 2005):

If you're lucky, your module might be reviewed at cpan ratings or gav's CPAN wiki or Mark Fowler's lovely Advent Calendar or even here in the Perl Monks Module Reviews section. You might even try posting a request for review at Simon's code review ladder. However, you're unlikely to gain much from these sources simply because performing a detailed, quality module review is very time consuming and few people have the time and inclination to do it.
Note that the Perl Monks Module Reviews section sees little action nowadays and Simon's code review ladder did not last very long.

I feel a more realistic approach is to isolate small pieces of code from your module that you're unhappy with and post multiple small questions to Perl Monks.

Another approach is to review your own module using checklists. A sample module review checklist can be found at Writing Solid CPAN Modules. Perhaps the new PrePAN site might develop some module review checklists, or even a tool, Module::Critic say, to automatically review CPAN modules (similar to Perl::Critic) ... though I just remembered we already have CPANTS Kwalitee, which never seemed to gain much support.
