Community Feedback Loop

Most of the high-profile module authors have a lot of modules on CPAN. Which means that generally those modules will be of good quality. A good part of the modules I use day-to-day are from this group of authors.

Generally those perl hackers will also be a part of the community and so you will see them at Perl conferences and on IRC. So one nice side effect from all this is that if you have a question about one of those modules or want to provide a patch you can just get hold of the author on IRC. This is also so much easier if you have already met at a conference.

Knowing a person and the quality of his work also builds trust, so you're more likely to use their code for production.
