I think the CPAN rating system could be of further help here as well.
It could be integrated with the search.cpan.org search engine. The
rating could appear on the results page, with top-rated modules
appearing first. So, just searching for a module named "mail" should be
begin to give you a sensible result.
This public prominence would also encourage more people to use the
system, I believe.
