Re: A room for CPAN Modules discussion?

Folks at London-PM don't think this is really a good idea at all, just another source of requests to monitor.

Why is it that whenever someone creates something for the Perl community, there is a ton of moaning? People are free to create websites (and software) as they please.

No, I do understand that part. If you've got a problem with a module, you may reasonably expect results from a website billed for exactly that purpose. And if you're a module author, you now have to go out and look for these things in yet another place. Which was kinda my first impression. What gets me, though, is the idea that replacing one "bad" (using their definition of bad) idea with another idea that is exactly the same ... is actually a solution. ;-)	[reply]

What moaning? Someone asks if people thought it was a good idea and those people (mostly module authors) gave good reasons why they thought it wasn't a good idea. Read the thread. /J\	[reply]
