  • doesn't mean it isn't used or unimportant. The main menu on search is automatically generated from that list and it used to be as close to a list of publicly deemed worthy modules as one could get. People don't need to download the list that frequently anymore, they just use the index on search.

    And pair.com is the mirror that serves www.cpan.org.

    • Nitpicking... 6 hits in a month mean it's unused. Trying to call it "un-popular" or hinting that it is used, even though only 6 people a month use it, doesn't change this.
      As for being "important" - if it's misleading (e.g. people think it represents the entire module list) or drains resources away from more important endevours, than yes, I would call it "unimportant".

      It's past time somebody spoke out about this issue. I totaly agree- this list should be taken out to pasture.
