Broken CPANTS

I just thought I check the latest CPANTS stats. Unfortunately it appears that the generator is even more broken than before :(

I know domm is busy preparing for the Austrian Perl Workshop, so I doubt whether he's had any time to look at it. Hopefully I'll get some free time tonight (seeing as Nicole has band practice) to have a look on his behalf.

I know it's broken. It was broken last week, and it's even more broken this week. The problem comes up when I do not run CPANTS over all of CPAN, but only over the last additions to CPAN.

I just started a new, complete run, which will take some hours to finish

I also started to change some internal CPANTS stuff to use a database instead of yaml files for maintaining state. But it's not finished yet...

Ah now I understand. I had a look at this last night, but didn't get too far. Are you planning to store details just in the database, or both the yaml files and the database? I think having the yaml files is quite nice, particularly for anyone who doesn't want to use the database for just seeing their distributions results.
