NAME
Acme::CPANModules::OrganizingCPAN - List of efforts to organize CPAN
VERSION
This document describes version 0.002 of
Acme::CPANModules::OrganizingCPAN (from Perl distribution
Acme-CPANModules-OrganizingCPAN), released on 2023-10-29.
DESCRIPTION
This list catalog efforts to organize CPAN and help users navigate the
sea of modules on CPAN.
Bundles and Tasks
A "Bundle::*" module lists several modules that will all get installed
simply by installing the Bundle module. A later project Task aims to
address some of the shortcomings of "Bundle::*" modules.
CPANAuthors
Acme::CPANAuthors::* modules contains lists of CPAN author ID's, grouped
by some criteria.
CPANModules
Acme::CPANModules::* modules contains lists of CPAN modules (or
scripts), grouped by some criteria.
Map of CPAN
The Map of CPAN project, <https://mapofcpan.org>, visualizes modules on
CPAN as a map, with top namespaces with lots of modules under them
appearing as islands while less popular namespaces are shown in the
water regions.
CPAN ratings
CPAN ratings, <https://cpanratings.perl.org/>, is an inactive project
that allows users to rate and review any CPAN module. In 2018, it no
longer accepts new submission. But all existing submissions are still
browsable.
PrePAN
Calling itself "Social Reviewing for Perl Modules", <http://prepan.org/>
lets an author post about a module she plans to release, or perhaps just
an idea of a module, to get input on name, interface, or what have you.
Alternatively, the usual places where Perl communities hang out can be
used for this use-case, including the Perl subreddit
(<https://reddit.com/r/perl>), IRC channels (see
<https://irc.perl.org>), or PerlMonks (<https://www.perlmonks.org>).
