Re: we need a list

I was hoping to be able to point you to CPAN Ratings, but alas, it appears that making a top-rated modules list is still sitting in their to-do list.

A word spoken in Mind will reach its own level, in the objective world, by its own weight

While http://search.cpan.org/ purportedly includes a rating, in fact, it provides only a set of code, indicating dev stage,language used (yep! to provide distinctions between pure Perl, C-based modules, and so on). However, the coding for "support" includes an "abandoned" category, which may be somewhat helpful. Update, clarification: The link above takes you to a CPAN\|Search page which lists various categories of modules. Follow your interest,and the next page provided offers the "DSLIP" information, as above. Thanks, jdporter for pointing out the need for this clarification, and for also pointing us to http://www.cpan.org/modules/00modlist.long.html, which also offers "DSLIP" coding.	[reply]
