CPAN::SeeAlso - an idea for linking related CPAN modules

metaperl on 2005-08-16T21:25:01

Me and another developer were discussing the fact that the SEE ALSO section of CPAN modules is often lacking, sometimes due to ignorance and other times due to arrogance.I have created a few such documents over time.

One of them is [1]a list of lazy loaders and the other is [2]a list of SQL phrasebooks.

We were trying to come up with some ways to make this data available and browseable to others.

I figured as long as the data was in a sqlite database, that people could develop web and text interfaces as they pleased. _________________________________________________________________

Acme::SeeAlso

How about putting these on CPAN in the Acme::SeeAlso name space ?

That when, when I search for something on search.cpan.org, there's a chance this would come up.

Or using AnnoCpan to post this list on the SEE ALSO section of the mentioned modules.
