> They need to be energized 2006 is when the energy around perl5 / new wave of cpan development became palpable to me. Have a look at Task::Kensho - you'll find a fair chunk of the stuff mentioned in there originates from 2006-2009 or so (and has been actively developed since). > My experience, admittedly anecdotal, is that CPAN packages in general are not maintained with the same vigor as in years past. But why would they be, if people are moving their focus to other languages? That or the CPAN packages you've been using have been superceded but you've not found the replacement. We're fairly terrible as a community at communicating when that happens.
