  • Commented on The return of CPANDB and the (alpha) Top 100 website
    You might want to look at an alternative to the cpanstats.db, as it will be decommissioned at some point. It currently has far too many errors, which don't seem to disappear even when recreating the SQLite DB from scratch. The...
