The freshness of a collection is often expressed in quartiles of age answering the questions: 25/50/75 percent of the CPAN are younger than X. So what are the figures for the CPAN? It's truely amazing: a quarter of the modules on CPAN has been uploaded within the last 3.8 months. Half of CPAN is younger than 17 months, and three quarters of CPAN have an age below 45 months.

I made up a google chart (with the help of Google::Chart).

Thanks to Schwern's posting about the RT REST interface finding the top posters to rt.cpan.org was a breeze. Here they are, as of posting 32022.

Thanks to everybody for the wonderful resource and a happy new year.
