Abstract
CPAN houses a wide variety of modules, from 10-line modules created by a single author to massive 10,000-line multifile modules created by teams of programmers. In fact, size and complexity are just one measure of variety in CPAN modules. Along every conceivable axis—design, documentation, implementation, testing, packaging—there exists great variety. CPAN is a virtual jungle teeming with biodiversity.
