The biggest problem with the Module List is that it is incomplete, although 
this situation may be improved in the future.
Alternative Browsing Methods
An alternative to browsing the Module List is the  modules by  listings. You can 
browse modules grouped by author, by category, by name, and by recentness. The 
advantage to this method is that it deals directly with the directory structure of 
CPAN and as a result all available modules are accessible.
By Author
Upon entering the Modules By Author view, you see a directory listing with what 
appears to be a directory for every author on CPAN. This is misleading the list 
you're seeing is a relic of the past. When CPAN started every author received an 
entry in this directory, but there's a limit to how many subdirectories a single 
directory can efficiently contain. These days there are far too many authors on 
CPAN to house them all in one directory, so CPAN switched to a multilevel hier 
archy for storing author directories, which is used today.
To see the real list, open the file 00whois.html. There you'll find three pieces of 
information for each author his or her CPAN ID, his or her full name, and his or 
her e mail address. A CPAN ID is a unique identifier for CPAN authors I'll show 
you how to apply for one in Chapter 5. If you click an author's CPAN ID,
5
 you'll be 
taken to that author's CPAN directory, which contains all the modules he or she 
has uploaded to CPAN. Some authors have registered Web sites for themselves, 
and you can click their full names to visit these.
5. Some CPAN authors do not have CPAN directories. Their IDs will not be links.
