I still remember the blog A year of CPAN uploads by Barbie published on 22nd March 2015. In his blog, he mentioned my name and my intention to break his record.

I still remember my first time at LPW, I got to see all the greats physically other than all the great talks. When I came back from the event, I tried to analyse what I liked most and what I mis…
July has been little stressful for me. Why? For the first time ever, I struggled to find issues to help with PR. Partly because the "Kwalitee" link was broken for first 2 weeks. Even when it became active, there was hardly anything for me to work on. Is it because CPAN authors are becoming smarter these days? At one point, I thought I am going miss the target of average 1 PR a day. Luckily the second half of the month was really productive. Apart from PR, there is another thing that kept me on my toes, which is daily uploads to CPAN. Having done this for over 1000 days without break in the…
