I wanted to build an awesome place for people to discuss module specific issues, but I don't have any more time for this, and there are much better places to discuss Perl-related issues. I'd recommend asking your question on Stack Overflow or on Perl Monks.
If you are looking for a Perl tutorial or Perl-related news, I hope these links will serve you well.

Site being updated to 0.16
Currently work is being done to update the website to version 0.16. This means switching to PostgreSQL.

Re: Site being updated to 0.16
It seems the upgrade has finished quickly. The main change in this version are the move from SQLite to PostgreSQL. Along with that I added quite a number of tests but I am sure I also broke some parts of the web site that I have not tested.

Passwords are not kept in clear text any more so the password reminder won't work and there is no replacement yet.

The notification e-mails are now sent by a daemon and not by the submission process. This should improve the performance of submitting a new post but will cause some delay in the e-mail delivery. The daemon is also a very simple implementation so it might crash and it won't be automatically restarted. Not yet at least.

The good news is that with this change I rewrote the code that is populating the database from cpan.org so man new packages that were missing from the site are going to be added now. For example now we can use the Padre forum.

Please report any new issues you encounter.

Re: Site being updated to 0.16
Apparently there are still several missing modules. I'll check those manually.

Also the time stamps got a bit mixed up during the transition. Sorry for that.
