might be interested know that I have tonight added a bunch of new fields to the Vaults of Parnassus database...
One field that might be interesting is, for lack of a better name, a 'status' field that said whether a project is maintained or unmaintained. (Maybe Maintained: yes|no ...) Sometimes it's useful to find any code that's helpful, even if no one is keeping it up-to-date; it's a starting point, anyway.
I think that would be possible without too much difficulty; the major issue, besides user interface, is where to find the latest tarball containing the actual code; Parnassus points to human-readable Web pages, not directly to the .tgz file, and it probably shouldn't have a pointer to it. How does CPAN handle this? Does it list foo-*.tgz and take the one where * is the highest version number? -- A.M.
