What are: "cpan ratings"?

http://cpanratings.perl.org/

All these years I've never been there; but then why would I? There's no reference to it from search cpan that I can see ...

I thought this was interesting....

In case you didn't know, neilb ( at search.cpan.org/~neilb/ ) uses this module as an example of a deprecated module. Furthermore, he uses it as an example of how a distribution maintainer can set the x_deprecated flag ( as explained at neilb.org/2015/01/17/deprecated-metad... ).

I wonder what setting that flag does ... oh that! Underwhelming.

Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error.

In the absence of evidence, opinion is indistinguishable from prejudice.
