Hi Chris, that wouldn't surprise me at all.

I'm doing this partly to keep my hand in on some stuff that I don't typically use, as well as try to (re-)invent a better mousetrap with regards to other modules that don't let me do things as easily as I think it might be as possible to do so. More to follow on that once the package is fleshed out more. :)

It helps to remember that the primary goal is to drain the swamp even when you are hip-deep in alligators.

    COMPLETELY understood.

    I'm bad that way myself. :)
    While it doesn't look complete, CPAN-Index might provide some helpful bits for your needs (project).

    Good luck, and have fun.

use Perl::Always or die;
my $perl_version = (5.12.5);
print $perl_version;

    This might give you a nice index object to run your search against:
    CPAN-Index-API.

use Perl::Always or die;
my $perl_version = (5.12.5);
print $perl_version;
