Abstract
Among the many gifts Larry Wall gave the Perl community is an aversion to rules and regulations. This is reflected in the Perl language as well as by the Perl community—there’s always more than one way to do it, and freedom of choice reigns. However, CPAN requires a different approach. As a shared resource, it would quickly dissolve into anarchy without a few rules to govern submissions.
