Background: Gabor Szabo:
A few days ago I created a report listing the availability of every CPAN module as package in various Linux distributions.
A bit more work on it and now there is a report for each module author as well. http://www.szabgab.com/distributions/
To which, in reply, Eric Wilhelm:
Neat, one of my modules is in debian.
Oh no, one of my modules is in debian!
It would seem the report is several months out of date. One of my modules is not listed as a FreeBSD port, but it does exist in the HTML file Module::Packaged::Generate uses. Two of my modules listed are for versions that are from last year, even though again the ports list lists them at the current version.
It would also be useful to have an SQLite database that could be interrogated to find out any other interesting info.
However, it is a great starting point

Post that on module-authors. No one who matters is going to see it in the comments of this post. The point of my entry was really Eric’s response.

You have access to fix the site?

Well no, but I continually assert the worth of my existence against a sometimes cold and unfeeling universe! Angry mutterings from the Continent don't help.

I was planning on looking at the code and posting a patch to Gabor directly, if appropriate:) Re:Regular & Reliable updates need
