That's a very good point and a great example. I tried two more cuts. One is top 100 by average number of downloads per revision. The second is based on the vector sum (sqrt(x**2 + y**2)) of total downloads and average per revision. (Technically, I took the log of the total to flatten the skew, and normalized both metrics to a maximum of 100 before taking the vector sum). That latter one is probably pretty good -- it accounts for both criteria. Depending on one's bias, one could weight the two factors differently in the sum.
Results follow. Code for each of my three variations is available from my subversion repository.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>

-
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).
