> Is there a way to browse the CPAN namespace hierarchy?

I'm not sure if I understand the requirement correctly.

Do you mean something like a foldable tree view which is interactively narrowed down while typing a query akin to a CSS selector?

If that's the requirement I'd try to feed a JSON hierarchy to one of those many *tree*.js libs in a browser while narrowing down with native "Xpath".

Just brainstorming if these are your requirements.

PS: I know at least one UI framework in JS offering a widget for narrowing down a tree.

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.


Come for the quick hacks, stay for the epiphanies.
