Many answers you will find on this place refer to some module on the mighty CPAN. CPAN lists true gems and -IMHO- is one of the reasons the Perl community is as strong as it is.
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 Freshmeat too?
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)?
To me, Freshmeat is just not "the right tool for the job" regarding modules... is it?
