In case you haven't heard of it, see Sturgeon's Law: 90% of everything is crap.
When I say that about CPAN, there's always a large mob of Perlmonks ready to lynch me.

    No synonym of platitude is "reproducable and statistically accepted evidence".

    Put another way, the barriers to uploading with PAUSE are sufficiently high that the awful on CPAN looks less than 50% to me.

      hrm, how about a site to index CPAN modules in a different way? One of the difficulties new end users find is that there are so many modules out there it is difficult to find the best and most "modern" ones.

      I understand Task::Kensho is working on this sort of problem in the realm of code...

        And MetaCPAN looks promising too.
