in reply to On uploading scripts to CPAN
Before uploading anything to CPAN, you should perform a thorough search on CPAN to make sure your code is not redundant. If there is something already on CPAN that is similar to what your code does, try to assess whether your code is better in some way, such as:
If you are convinced your code is unique enough, then make sure its quality is as good as it can be. Generally, people want code that is easy to use and is bug free. That means that it must have documentation (written in POD) and it must have tests. You might consider converting your scripts into modules by moving the subs into the module, then providing a simple wrapper script for easy usage. Using subs makes code easier to test.
I would not advocate uploading "a bunch of random scripts", especially if they are unrelated to each other.
