in reply to On module reviews

Why not simply create a section in Tutorials for Module Tutorials and request that your node be moved to it?

That would be the first place I would look for such documents.

I would prefer that Reviews tell me who wrote the module, what it tries to do, whether or not it succeeds, and whether or not the reviewer thinks it's worth installing.

I like your idea about beefing CPAN's searching capabilities, but I'm not certain it's entirely fair to ask them to include just our little Monastery. While we all know this is the best place for Perl-related assistance, I'm not sure the rest of the Perl community would be so discerning. If they were also willing to broaden the range of included sites, I think that would be more than fair, though I confess that I'm not sure what the impact would be on their servers. (Perhaps they could use something based on merlyn's recent article.)

I do think, however, that someone who created a CUFP that searched CPAN and included that sort of summary would get more than a few votes, as well as some valuable experience.
