Re: Re: Gathering module usage statistics

Maybe, that website should be usage.cpan.org and it should be a part of MakeMaker?

I like that idea very much! It could be used by MakeMaker, Module::Build, etcetera. Maybe even by PPM.

However, it will take long before people upgrade their current versions.

Juerd # { site => 'juerd.nl', plp_site => 'plp.juerd.nl', do_not_use => 'spamtrap' }

Yeah, well, that's the issue with any rollout to remote locations. :-) Now, what we could do in our modules is require the appropriate versions of MakeMaker, etc. That would force the reload the moment our modules are used. Plus, it would happen for all new installs of Perl. So, I s'pose, it would roll out relatively quickly. The numbers would be useful within 3-6 months. ------ We are the carpenters and bricklayers of the Information Age.
