Many answers you will find on this place refer to some module on the mighty [http://cpan.org|CPAN]. CPAN lists true gems and -IMHO- is one of the reasons the Perl community is as strong as it is.
</p>
<p>
Whatever your needs, always check CPAN, is an often heard phrase. Yet why then do some module authors feel the need to publish their projects on [http://freshmeat.net/|Freshmeat] too?
</p>
<p>
Freshmeat lists many good pieces of software, yet I doubt any of us will point a browser there to launch a query regarding a Perl module. Is this TIMTOWTDI (marketing) to extremes, or am I just picky (and annoyed when I have to wade through more pages of results that do not interest me at that moment)?
</p>
<p>
To me, Freshmeat is just not "the right tool for the job" regarding modules... is it?
