Let see if we can start a trend and have authors bring their modules to the "Sacrifice Stone (tm)".

I put Data::TreeDumper in the Review section for you to poke at. The module comes with some examples and I'm sure you have a data structure or two to dump. Bugs can be reported in RT (I'll get them there if you don't) and Reviews in the review section.

Don't forget to rate your favorit modules at: http://cpanratings.perl.org

    Don't think Reviews is a good place for that. I would tend to say announcing a CPAN module (even if asking for reviews) would go under News. If you have specific questions about things you've done in the code, that would be Seekers of Perl Wisdom. If you want to brag about an approach you took in solving some problem, that would be Meditations. If you want to show off your code, that would be Code Catacombs. Just my opinions.
      Your opinion is welcome. It is in the reviews. And that's exactely what I would like to achieve, more reviews. We had a long discussion about this in the module-authors mailing list. We need more reviews and I believe it would be a good system if authors came forward and said "OK here's my stuff please rate/review it". I though I'd try to show a good example. I hope that it will work and that many will try this system. Not only is it interresting for the author to get feedback (that's what I'm trying to do here but not at the line or code snippet level but more at the module level) but I think it will also be interresting for the reviewers to get some modules asking for review. I am looking forward for the next "offer". Do you have a module you would like reviewed?

      Cheers, Nadim.
