There are lots of great languages. I think we can learn from each other. Perl has a lot of problems but also a lot of strengths. CPAN is one of its strengths. Compare CPAN: https://metacpan.org/module/Moose::Manual https://metacpan.org/module/Moose::Manual Then compare with other repositories from other languages: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1693529/list-of-top-repositories-by-programming-language http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1693529/list-of-top-repos... CPAN does * Documentation * Historical versions of libraries * Search * Source code * Integrated bug tracker * Integrated review system * Links to repositories * Integrated automated tests regularly run against hundreds of machines/operating systems/perl versions.
