Tim created the Module List in August 1994 and maintained it manually
+till April 1996.
By that time Andreas had implemented the Perl Authors Upload Server (P
+AUSE) and it was happily feeding modules through to the CPAN archive
+sites.
Since PAUSE held a database of module information which could be maint
+ained by module authors it made sense for the module listing part of
+the Module List to be built from that database.
