I'm excited about a PM-inspired 'reputation' or 'XP' attached to every CPAN module (proposed by tjh above) with or w/o full-blown discussion! Consider some of the benefits:
- allow everyone to promote their fav modules
- inspire mod owners to improve their work for (documented, statistical) reward and recognition
- provide an indicator of the quality/usability of each mod for those unfamiliar w/ them
- provide a 'roadmap' for those wishing to learn new modules (highest to lowest reputation)
- provide a reference for CPAN admins if pruning decisions ever become necessary
Others surely can think of more...

May the Source be with you.
You said you wanted to be around when I made a mistake; well, this could be it, sweetheart.

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).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
