No offense intended, I mean your CPAN uploads, not all CPAN content, thought there's a fair amount of useless crud there. I also don't think you help anyone here, on perlmonks, where people ask for help solving perl problems. But that's just one opinion, and opinions are what I guess you're asking for, other points of view. Of course I'll get down voted in what you've correctly identified as a useless 'reward' and rating system. As you're aware, this holds no water. There is so much more you can do to make the world a better place, and get that warm feeling inside for having done so. Perlmonks isn't the best use of everyone's time.
