[ comments enabled ]

Rules:

* the module's first released version had to have been uploaded to CPAN last year. If it was on CPAN prior to January 1, it does not count.

* nominations must be made in reply to this journal entry

* the winning module and nominator will get some sort of cool prize and something in The Perl Review.

* Andy Lester's modules are eligible, but mine, which are not cool anyway, are not.

* Acme:: modules are eligible.


Why me?

Why would my modules be ineligible anyway?

They wouldn't be. I only said they were. Not that I would want to point out that you made some great modules this year and sway any votes or anything. :)

2 Nominees

I'd like to nominate XML::SAX::Machines and DBD::SQLite.

...would probably be DBD::SQLite.

Tough Crowd

PAR impresses me -- really really impresses me -- and Module::Signature has been much needed. I'll guess that anything Autrijus puts out is worth mentioning. Still, I immodestly use Test::MockObject more than any other module written in the last year. Make my life easier by disallowing author nominations. :)

DBD::SQLite

Without a doubt. A full SQL capable database encapsulated in a single DBD. I've replaced MySQL on my machine with it and haven't looked back.
