SYNOPSIS use Acme::CPANAuthors; use Acme::CPANAuthors::TopDepended::ByOthers; my $authors = Acme::CPANAuthors->new('CPAN::TopDepended::ByOthers'); my $number = $authors->count; my @ids = $authors->id; my @distros = $authors->distributions('RJBS'); my $url = $authors->avatar_url('RJBS'); my $kwalitee = $authors->kwalitee('RJBS'); DESCRIPTION This module, like Acme::CPANAuthors::CPAN::TopDepended, lists 50 CPAN authors with the largest number of distributions directly depending to one of his/her modules. The difference is, only distributions by other authors are counted. This in some cases might be a better indication of how "depended upon" an author is, as some authors might have modules that are mostly depended by his/her own distributions. This list is produced by querying a local mini CPAN mirror using this command: % lcpan authors-by-rdep-count --exclude-same-author | head -n 50 Statistics of the CPAN mirror: # COMMAND: lcpan stats-last-index-time --format text-pretty SEE ALSO Acme::CPANAuthors Acme::CPANAuthors::CPAN::TopDepended
