I'm not trying to demotivate you. :-) As that article says, inherent metadata you can harvest from the existing data base in some way without reliance on external effort is very useful. I'd also like to think that a number of the issues Cory brings up won't be too pronounced on CPAN: I'd hope module don't routinely get uploaded with misspelt names.. It's just something to keep in mind. I've had to deal with such concerns in an intensely painful project attempting to infer structure from weakly marked up documents. Sorry if it seemed I was saying that your project is doomed or something; that wasn't my intent at all. Regards, -- Aristotle "If you can't laugh at yourself, you don't take life seriously enough."
