Hi perl-qa, there's been a lot of discussion about CPANTS metrics in the recent past.
How about a mandatory or optional metric for modules registered with the modules list? Why is that a sign of (q|kw)alit(y|ee)? Because it means the author has the blessing of the module list maintainers as far as the choice of namespace goes. Furthermore, modules registered with modules@ can provide some more meta-information via PAUSE. (DLSIP string)
What do you think? Steffen
