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 <pm:Task> aims to address some of
the shortcomings of `Bundle::*` modules.

**CPANAuthors**

<pm:Acme::CPANAuthors>::* modules contains lists of CPAN author ID's, grouped by
some criteria.

**CPANModules**

<pm: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>).
