Agreed - it should all be in CPAN. The only reasons I suggest building a new site are:
If the site proved it's worth, I would expect it to be integrated into CPAN, or at least for CPAN to provide a link to the module's page on this site.
The problem is the only definitive information about a module is it's POD (and code). Unless you try it, or you're very good at reading code, the only way to select a module is by what it's POD claims to do. Those claims may be incorrect, poorly communicated, or mis-understood.I wouldn't even attempt to extract this information manually. I'm thinking more of wiki-style access (though maybe less free-form). I'm brain-dumping here, but how about a tree of "features", eg: So the process would be:
As I said, just a brain dump, but may have value. Any more ideas? Clint
