CPAN was definitely the envy of other languages for many years but I feel most have caught up by now.

[singingfish]

Kind of caught up. I don't think there's much like cpantesters and the strong emphasis on testing elsewhere.

[wainstead]

Agreed, and the cpan shell too.

[singingfish]

I haven't used the cpan shell for a long time `cpanminus` does everything I need with a great deal less pain.
