That is going a bit too far with the testing, I think Agreed :-) And though I admit the culture is great overall, that does seem to be my experience with CPAN

That is going a bit too far with the testing, I think Agreed :-) And though I admit the culture is great overall, that does seem to be my experience with CPAN. You never know what you're going to get. It's like that to some degree with every language but with CPAN there's so much trust in the system it can be harder to identify and filter out the lesser quality stuff. There are lots of nice tools that help with that though. https://metacpan.org/ https://metacpan.org/, http://cpantesters.org/ http://cpantesters.org/, http://cpanratings.perl.org/ http://cpanratings.perl.org/, etc.
