These are nice ideas. If you'd like to try them out and write some code then we infite you to he CPANHQ project which attempts to be an Open source rewrite of the CPAN module search/browser. It's still in early stages - but there is enough code to import some modules data and try out new ideas. The problem now is of bootstraping the system, we cannot assume we have all those additional socially gathered pieces of module data - we need to start with the currently available information, make something useful out of it and only after people find it compelling enough to switch from the two main cpan search engines - only then we can count on them adding new data.

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).
