As a CPAN author, I appreciate feedback from users. But I'm not waiting for people who after "skimming" the docs, tell me they find them unclear, or find the the described syntax nonintuitive or unfriendly.
Really, I spend a lot of time working on my code and the documentation. The least I expect of a user is to spend a little time with the module before critizing it. What might not be clear after just skimming the docs, might make a hell of a lot of sense if you actually use the module.
Feedback is good, but bad feedback is worse than no feedback.

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).

are good places to start.
