CPAN has a reputation for providing useful tools to the perl using community. Modules that don't do what they claim to do or that provide broken code that claims to work do nothing but ruin this reputation. It also wastes the time of anyone who downloads them, takes the time to install them, takes more time to figure out how they're supposed to work but that they don't. CPAN should not be used as anyone's personal backup space for their perl code.

Now, who is the asshole? The critic who would like to maintain CPAN's high reputation or the person who thinks his half-assed perl module is worthy of wasting all these people's time?
