  My impression of the CPAN is that it is a whole bunch of code of very
  dubious and uncertain quality, and not at all what I would want to base
  anything on in a real project.  It is fine for the kinds of things that
  Perl is used for.  Why anyone would want a piece of that market eludes
  me.  Perl should reign supreme in that corner and not cause anything else
  to be polluted by its mind-set.
