  Very impressive, I tried to see how long I could do it for but only managed 18 days, hundreds is hard to imagine....
• Commented on What should be in a CPAN distro README?
  I have been doing some playing with node modules recently, in that space the README files generally are quite useful giving a description of the module and some comments on installing and usage description. This isn't as useful for CPAN...

  I liked this idea a great deal. So much so that I adopted it in the Git::Hooks module.

  However, after releasing it I got a pull request explaining that there are some problems in keeping a README.pod file at the root of my distribution because it will be installed in the wrong place. (In my case, as Git::README instead of Git::Hooks::README.)

  One solution would be to rename it to README.md and replace POD with Markdo…

  While the quantity is impressive, the quality in CPANTS rankong impresses me more. Seems you could be the number one of the ones, if you find the little issue causing the difference to 100 percent.
