  ... and had CPAN. And all the tests. And decent Unicode. And a working taint mode. And the functionality of Moose.

    You're right about Unicode and Moose. But I've never heard a Ruby programmer complain that there is no central repository for Ruby gems. Like, I don't know, rubygems.org .

      Every language has one, but it doesn't come close to the breadth of CPAN. Much of it has to do with the culture set for maintainership. You have to achieve a certain kind of test coverage to get included, and if you are absent as a maintainer you package goes up for adoption.

        I'm convinced that talking about CPAN as a unique thing just makes Perl programmers appear out of touch with regard to other languages. I am impressed with CPANTS, but saying "we have CPAN" isn't enough anymore.
