Re: Re: Gathering module usage statistics

Statistics can be collected

I use a geographically nearby mirror, and expect most people do so. gbarr counted only the downloads of search.cpan.org. That excludes ALL automated downloads. As you can see, only the famous ones are in that list.

I don't think you need the absolute numbers of all downloads --- an impression of the relative numbers of your module compared with the "big ones" should be enough. And I don't think that the number relation between automated CPAN downloads and search.cpan.org downloads will be that different.	[reply]
