Talk:CPAN/Rewrite

The Comprehensive Perl Archive Network (CPAN) is the primary repository of software written in the Perl programming language. It is the largest Perl software repository;, it hosted more than 160,000 Perl modules across over 33,000 packages.

After two years of discussion by numerous Perl developers, CPAN was created in October 1995 by Jarkko Hietaniemi when he set up a FTP archive to host Perl modules.
