As our kids where with their grandparents today and nothing else (cleaning up etc) was todo, I used my tuits to work on CPANTS.
The results are a new version on CPAN (should arrive at your CPAN mirror/search.cpan.org soonishly) and some new data.
The new version now uses Module::MakefilePL::Parse for Makefile.PL parsing, nice progress bars courtesy of Term::ProgressBar, information on CPAN authors, a nicer dist (MANIFEST, prerequisits), and some minor improvements.
But it doesn't contain more Kwalitee indicators. In fact it contains less, as I dumped bad_permissions.
Maximum Kwalitee is 9 now, which is achieved by 142 distributions. Average Kwalitee is 6.85366795366795.
Here's the Kwalitee distribution:
sqlite> select kwalitee,count(kwalitee) as cnt from kwalitee group by
...> kwalitee order by kwalitee;

5 315
6 1595
7 3794

9 147
cpants.db now includes a new table called authors which provides information on CPAN authors (cpanid, name, email, average kwalitee of all dists by this author, total number of dists)
Here are the top 20 authors: (highest average Kwalitee AND more then 5 dists on CPAN

Darn, I lost some kwalitee for pod errors. But in my (weak) defense, I thought search.cpan.org was showing pod errors on the doc pages (it used to at least), and I didn't see any errors there anymore. And I liked the effect that I saw in both html and man page output when I did the 'wrong' thing, which was using head3's inside over...back sections (and now, when I RTFM (perlpod), I see that you're not supposed to use 'headn' inside over..back sections). Oh well, there's always next release
