Makes you think about a central part of the Perl ecosystem.
G. Wade,
I think if CPAN had a few features then it would be better.
1) I use this distribution please keep it updated.
2) Don't use this distribution use this newer, bigger, better package
instead.
So, the packages with the most "use" could be filtered from the rest
more easily.
that does exist on metacpan. look for the reverse dependencies link on a
module page. that shows what other modules and distributions are
depenedent on this module. it won't show end user programs which use the
module (without scanning all those private disks :) but it does tell you
something about popularity. but popularity doesn't always equate to
quality (look at any major fast food chain) so keep that in mind.
