Re^4: Help update the Phalanx 100

For the simple reason that I KNOW Excel::Template can't be in any top-100 list, your second algorithm has to be wrong. :-)

Being right, does not endow the right to be rude; politeness costs nothing.
Being unknowing, is not the same as being stupid.
Expressing a contrary opinion, whether to the individual or the group, is more often a sign of deeper thought than of cantankerous belligerence.
Do not mistake your goals as the only goals; your opinion as the only opinion; your confidence as correctness. Saying you know better is not the same as explaining you know better.

Remember that this is only a couple months of data. There seems to be a tremendous amount of interest in perl and Excel in the period of time studied (via `grep -c Excel`, it's 3577 lines). Excel::Template and Spreadsheet::WriteExcel were downloaded 505 times (94th) and 557 times (81st) in the period studied (irrespective of revisions, which were many and do add to the total as stvn pointed out). (Ignoring the top 1% of downloaders.) Even if you don't think that your module makes a top 100, it still was downloaded an average of 26 times per revision. That puts it solidly in the middle at 4180 out of 8419 modules that made it through my script. (Only 193 modules have over 100 downloads per revision and only the top 11 are over 500 downloads per revision.) -xdg Code posted by xdg on PerlMonks is public domain.
