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>).

=head1 FAQ

=head2 What is an Acme::CPANModules::* module?

An Acme::CPANModules::* module, like this module, contains just a list of module
names that share a common characteristics. It is a way to categorize modules and
document CPAN. See L<Acme::CPANModules> for more details.

=head2 What are ways to use this Acme::CPANModules module?

Aside from reading this Acme::CPANModules module's POD documentation, you can
install all the listed modules (entries) using L<cpanm-cpanmodules> script (from
L<App::cpanm::cpanmodules> distribution):

 % cpanm-cpanmodules -n OrganizingCPAN

Alternatively you can use the L<cpanmodules> CLI (from L<App::cpanmodules>
distribution):

    % cpanmodules ls-entries OrganizingCPAN | cpanm -n

or L<Acme::CM::Get>:

    % perl -MAcme::CM::Get=OrganizingCPAN -E'say $_->{module} for @{ $LIST->{entries} }' | cpanm -n

or directly:

    % perl -MAcme::CPANModules::OrganizingCPAN -E'say $_->{module} for @{ $Acme::CPANModules::OrganizingCPAN::LIST->{entries} }' | cpanm -n

This Acme::CPANModules module also helps L<lcpan> produce a more meaningful
result for C<lcpan related-mods> command when it comes to finding related
modules for the modules listed in this Acme::CPANModules module.
See L<App::lcpan::Cmd::related_mods> for more details on how "related modules"
are found.
