DESCRIPTION

    With the multitude of modules that are available on CPAN, it is
    sometimes difficult for a user to choose an appropriate module for a
    task or find other modules related in some ways to a module. Various
    projects like CPAN Ratings <http://cpanratings.perl.org/> (where users
    rate and review a distribution) or MetaCPAN <https://metacpan.org/>
    (which has a ++ feature where logged-in users can press a button to ++
    a module and the website will tally the number of ++'s a distribution
    has) help to some extent. There are also various blog posts by Perl
    programmers which review modules, e.g. CPAN Module Reviews by Neil
    Bowers <http://neilb.org/reviews/>.

    For categorizing CPAN authors, there are also the Acme::CPANAuthors
    project, complete with its own website <http://acme.cpanauthors.org/>.

    Acme::CPANLists is another way to help. One creates an
    Acme::CPANLists::SOMENAME module, and inside it puts lists of CPAN
    modules and authors with their descriptions/reviews/ratings. The
    creator of the list is free to organize her list in whatever way she

Acme::CPANLists is yet another way to organize CPAN modules/authors into various
"lists".
