in reply to Section proposal: Best CPAN Modules

As I said over there, any satisfactory solution would need to be dynamic and collaborative; and PerlMonks' existing features don't facilitate this too well. Probably the best we can do here is our wiki node type, of which we have several extant examples, such as this one. I'm not sure how good the locking is on these; it might become an issue if lots of people are trying to contribute.

Using threads in sections (such as this one) is bound to fail, due both to the non-collaborative nature and the intrinsic obsolescence of ordinary writeup nodes.

We're building the house of the future together.

    I fully agree ... the primary intent of this thread is to generate interest in a new section. The use of the thread to collect 'popular' modules is simply an effort to (a) show that there are some modules that are universally popular, and (b) get a start on defining the first candidates for the 'best modules list'.

    I'm not sure I understand why you think a dynamic ranked list like Saints in our Book would not work ... ?
