It depends what you define as module. Here we are counting namespaces:
% zcat ~ftp/pub/CPAN/modules/02packages.details.txt.gz | perl -nale '$F[2] =~
m|^./../(.+?)/|; print $1' | sort | uniq -c | sort -n | tail
76 AWIN
77 JPRIT
91 BIRNEY
92 LDS
101 MKUL
103 GBARR
104 JWIED
125 NI-S
180 GSAR
203 GAAS
Here we are counting files that contain at least one module (older
files excluded):
% zcat ~ftp/pub/CPAN/modules/02packages.details.txt.gz | perl -nale '$F[2] =~
m|^./../(.+?)/|; next if $SEEN{$F[2]}++; print $1' | sort | uniq -c | sort -n | tail
18 DOUGM
18 LDS
21 GBARR
22 ILYAZ
22 JPRIT
22 SBURKE
23 MSCHWERN
25 JWIED
28 GAAS
30 TOMC
Looking closer reveals that both counts have horrible unfair
properties. Maybe you must find your own definition:-)
