Another data set (Score:2)

by AndyArmstrong (7200)

I've added a dataset that's scraped from http://search.cpan.org/recent [cpan.org]. You can see a line graph of it here [ibm.com].

Naturally it exhibits roughly the same curve as brian's data but with a slightly different shape and slightly more detail.

I think we can safely say the trend is "up" :)

  nice hack! now do you think you can extract "new modules" vs. "module updates" from that data? that would be even more interesting... :-)

    Yes, I want to look at first time distributions too. That one is a little more tricky because I have to parse the file name (no big deal), and at the same time I want to collect data by author too. :)
