> but less common support for external APIs (which more commonly support Java/Ruby/Python/etc.) Yesterday, there were an even 60 CPAN module releases, and that is a pretty typical day. Most of them weren't NEW modules, but some were. It's true that you don't as often see Perl APIs released along with the various 'external API' things, but, as someone who probably spends too much time tracking the various new hot things, Perl API support is first rate. It's damn rare that I don't see a Perl API for something, even if it's relatively new. I'be been watching CPAN for a long, long time, and I will say that it's more vibrant and active now than I have ever seen it.
