You might want to check out: http://beta.metacpan.org/ the front and backend are here: https://github.com/cpan-api http://blogs.perl.org/mt/mt-search.fcgi?limit=20&search=metacpan has some history and discuss with them on irc.perl.org #metacpan - I've pointed them to your perlmonk post https://github.com/szabgab/CPAN-Digger also exists - I think Gabour is discussing if there is any overlap with #metacpan which they're discussing. http://blogs.perl.org/users/michael_j/2011/04/deploying-perl-code-with-git-locallib-minicpan-and-cpanminus.html is actually the setup we use at work, but this only works because we only have one version of all code for all projects. Hope that helps. Leo
