Actually I'd love to be able to add some way to measure which module is used OUTSIDE of CPAN. Fetching data from sourceforge an alike. Sure it will be skewed as some modules are more likely be used in open source projects than others. Someone could also game it by starting tons of Sourceforge projects using his own module. One could also break in the CPANTS server and change the database to to show his module at a higher rank. I guess breaking in a bank pays better. (and isn't necessarily harder :-) Gabor
