    This document describes version 0.1.12 of Acme::CPANModules (from Perl
    distribution Acme-CPANModules), released on 2023-11-01.

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; now no longer accepting new submission)
    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/>.

    Acme::CPANModules is another mechanism to help, to let someone
    categorize modules in whatever way she likes.

    A related website/online service for "CPAN modules" is coming (when I
    eventually get to it :-), or perhaps when I get some help).

             {module=>'Madame::Zita'},
         ],

    Here's another, more expanded sample:

     $LIST = {
         summary => 'Modules that predict the future',
         description => <<'_',

    This list catalogs modules that predict the future. Yes, the future is
    unpredictable. But we can try anyway, right?

    _ entries => [ { module => 'Zorb', summary => 'Contact the API for the
    strange crystal Zorb', description => <<'_',

    This module is an API client to Zorb, a strange crystal that supposedly
    fell from the sky in 2017 near Ozark, that can change color depending on
    what you feed to it. The API connects to Zorb API server managed by
    Crooks, Inc.
