  NuoDB looks like a really cool project. But if you want Perl programmers to use your driver, it has to be on CPAN. That's the only place 99% of us are ever going to look for Perl code.

  Plenty of CPAN distributions use GitHub for their repositories; Dist::Zilla has a number of tools for automating CPAN releases from GitHub. We can help you get set up on CPAN if you haven't used it before.

  The installation instructions says:

  sudo perl -MCPAN -e 'force install DBI'
  

  This is very bad practice because:

  • this will probably corrupt the packages handled by the system (usually on Linux systems). Instead, suggest to the user to use a local::lib-based environment
  • 'force install' is a bad practice. If DBI doesn't install, there is a good reason that must be fixed, either on the system or in DBI.

  Thanks for releasing this - any chance you could put it on CPAN as well - that would make using it much easier (and you also get it tested on lots of plaforms and other goodies).
