Had some good feedback on module-authors and the code-review-ladder lists (thanks, Bart, Mark, Stephen and Smylers :^), and decided to take the plunge.

Now for some advertising... Where do I go to announce my precious code to the world? :-)

Well all the cool kids read the journals here so your job is done
If you're linking to your distribution on CPAN, you might want to use a link format that will always point to the latest version: http://search.cpan.org/dist/DBIx-Counter/.

I'm thrilled to see the cool kids actually commenting in mine:^)
Thanks for that way of linking to CPAN. Didn't know about that yet.
I'm announcing a lot of my software (including many CPAN modules) on Freshmeat. There's also the FSF/UNESCO Free Software Directory. You can also try on the relevant mailing lists or other forums like perl-dbi or whatever.

Thanks Shlomi. In this case, I think my module is not so earth shatteringly innovative that it belongs on Freshmeat or even the FSF SD, but I think I will post on some mailing lists.
CPAN RSS?

That probably means that I'm not cool. Or that I'm not a kid. Yeah, that's it.Re:CPAN RSS?

The feed is here if you missed it: http://search.cpan.org/rss/search.rss
If I can make a shameless plug here: I use my pet project to read rss feeds. It's an rss/atom to email program, and you can find it at http://www.asynchrss.com/. I greatly prefer receiving feeds in my email: I already have my mail client open all day, and don't need yet another reader gui.
And it was a lot of fun coding it too: it uses many of my favorite CPAN modules (POE, Class::DBI, CGI::Application to name the biggest ones).
