CPAN Testers Statistics Update

barbie on 2005-11-01T14:46:04

My CPAN Testers Statistics site got a facelift and the latest monthly update.

Following suggestions to break the original page up, and a desire to have a better looking set of pages, I nabbed the CSS file from Thomas's CPANTS site and set about redesigning the content. Any further suggestions for improvements or mail address fixes will be gratefully received.

Enjoy :)

never seen those pages before. :-)

I was in a discussion with Xantus a couple nights ago about http://cpantools.com/ (currently has the google-suggested verison of the search). He has a vision of bringing together all of the various subsites into on big cohesive unit; the rankings, the forums, the annotations, the test reports, etc, of which your stuff would be one of the units. :-)

I think that's a tall tall order and my mind boggles at where to start. I know CPANTS has the data in a sqlite downloadable form. Do you have something like that as well?

The data is in an SQLite database, which is now over 25MB. I was originally going to use the database that WWW::CPAN::Testers::Generator creates, but it doesn't contain all the information I needed. In addition I have to manually verify the results as some reports are bogus. I have been fine-tuning the script to ignore the bogus reports and for the latest run there weren't any entries I had to delete from the database, but I'm a little way off running this completely automated. I'll add a link to the code and db soon.

Glad you like it though :)
