There is CPANTS (http://cpants.charsbar.org/index.html) which checks Kwalitee > Would hurling a PBP test at the whole of CPAN to get a metric be of any > benefit? As already mentioned Perl Critic could be done, but perhaps with a very high tolerence level and focus more on big mistakes and risks than good style - certainly feasible (McCabe score in 3 digits, much more useful than whether bare, explicit or implicit return used). There are plenty of useful tools for skimming the cream of CPAN : * CPAN Ra(n)tings which is already integrated into metacpan * metacpan recommendation/endorsements ( https://metacpan.org/favorite/leaderboard, not linked from front page, which is a shame as it's a really nice feature) * http://cpan-u.sysd.org/ which is an amazon/netflix style recommendation system * https://www.socialtext.net/perl5/ There is a LOT on CPAN, but it's not about the size, it's about what you do with it, and the eco-system and tools around it continue to improve and set the bar higher for similar code repos :) Cheers, A -- Aaron J Trevena, BSc Hons http://www.aarontrevena.co.uk LAMP System Integration, Development and Consulting
