Is there a central perl app directory or repository?

j3 has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Is there a central Perl project repository (or even just a directory) of end-user software written in Perl? I realize CPAN has a scripts area, but I was thinking more like how Ruby has http://rubyforge.org or how Gnome has http://gnomefiles.org.

I went to SourceForge --> Projects --> Software Map, but I don't see how I can search there for projects based on their implementation language. Also, can't seem to search gnomefiles or the fsf directory based on implementation language.

perl.org's Application Programming page has a few leads, but no directory listing per se.

Was there ever a ``perlforge''?

If there's no such directory, a simple ``Written in Perl'' PerlMonks node might be useful to keep here. Just a single-page, categorized listing of available end-user software. I searched but didn't find such a node.

Is the Perlmonk's section Code Catacombs of any help?	[reply]

Sure, the Catacombs look pretty helpful. I'll have to look there more carefully, but it seems similar to the CPAN scripts...	[reply]

Ah... had forgotten about freshmeat. Thank you for the reminder. Freshmeat has tons of software listed, but its browsing fliter seems limited. In particular, I don't see any way I can view all Perl software, with Development Status 5 or 6, GPL or LGPL -- filters seem to just AND (though, it is very nice how the filter combo box numbers update after each time you apply a filter). Still though, great site.	[reply]
