I'm pretty sure I've plugged a module or too here - just so long as it
isn't an ORM or MVC Framework it's probably not contraversial ;)

That's probably why a LOT of CPAN is there :)

Just a few basic things to remember as a new CPAN module author
* release early and often (I'm guilty of neglecting this)
* try and keep on top of rt.cpan.org
* don't trample namespaces (I'm looking at you template!)
* ask around if you're not sure of a namespace
* releasing a module just to celebrate it being your 100th has already
been done, so no cheating your way up the cpan leaderboard (
http://www.thegestalt.org/simon/perl/wholecpan.html and
http://london.pm.org/who/leaderboard.html)

cheers,

A.
