Announcement on Perl News: http://perlnews.org/2011/10/prepan-perl-code-review-and-discussion-site-launches/ http://perlnews.org/2011/10/prepan-perl-code-review-and-disc... The site focuses on code review and discussions, with the goal of helping module authors get feedback, suggestions and help before they upload a new module to CPAN.

This looks outstanding. The idea itself is terrific: encourage and help more people to contribute to Perl via CPAN. I would love to see a similar site for Ruby. (There are good tutorials available for making a first gem, but this is a more open chance to get feedback on actual code.) Other things I like about it: 1. Easy sign-up via Github or Twitter. 2. The source code will be available on Github. (There's a repo, but so far just for issues. There's tons of Perl examples for all sorts of things, but I don't know so many examples of modern websites made with Perl. Maybe I'm looking in the wrong places.) 3. Nice, clear, modern looking site. Congrats and thanks to @kentaro[1] [1] https://twitter.com/#!/kentaro https://twitter.com/#!/kentaro

Sign up / Sign in doesn't seem to work ATM.

  Github sign in works for me (I signed up earlier, so not my first try).

Despite the quality look of the site, it appears to need a little work---at least so far as the sign-up mechanism goes. The twitter approach is broken. I don't have a get hub account so I didn't test that. I also (personal preference here) would prefer a sign up without a dependency on any other service---CPAN certainly doesn't care, why should PrePAN care? Although I suppose it might have been a matter of expediency, quicker to develop or something.
