Daily CPAN upload: 600 days

by Mohammad Sajid Anwar (MANWAR)

I love the fact that Mohammad is keeping up with the daily upload game, but in neither of the CPAN upload games can newcommers really win. Unless of course the current leaders stop. So I wonder if there could be other challenges or other forms of the same game where newcommers (to the game) also have a chance. e.g. The 'most uploads this week'. Or the 'most uploads this month'.
