I don't know about Randal and Dave, but Mark Fowler lists his favourites in a delightful format at: http://www.perladvent.org/ And the "Phalanx 100" at: http://qa.perl.org/phalanx/ lists the 100 "most popular" CPAN modules. Then there's gav's CPAN wiki http://cpan.thegav.com/ which seems fairly quiet. Perl Monks have a module review section: http://www.perlmonks.org/?node=Module%20Reviews which is also fairly quiet (as is Simon's code review ladder). The bottom line is that module reviews are time-consuming and you won't find many people with the time to do it. A better idea is to isolate small pieces of your module code that you're unhappy with and post multiple small questions to Perl Monks. Shamless plug: since you are a relative newbie, you might find this article: http://www.perlmonks.org/?node_id=418891 an interesting read, especially the section "Testability and Test Suite". /-\ Find local movie times and trailers on Yahoo!
