NAME Acme::CPANAuthors::CPAN::TopDepended::ByOthers - Authors with the largest number of other authors' distributions depending on one of his/her modules VERSION This document describes version 0.004 of Acme::CPANAuthors::CPAN::TopDepended::ByOthers (from Perl distribution Acme-CPANAuthors-CPAN-TopDepended-ByOthers), released on 2021-11-17. SYNOPSIS use Acme::CPANAuthors; use Acme::CPANAuthors::CPAN::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: +---------------------+--------------------------------+ | key | value | +---------------------+--------------------------------+ | cpan | /home/u1/cpan | | index_name | /media/minicpan-index/index.db | | last_index_time | 2021-11-16T19:50:46Z | | raw_last_index_time | 1637092246 | +---------------------+--------------------------------+ Current ranking: +-----------+----------------------------------------+------------+------+ | id | name | rdep_count | rank | +-----------+----------------------------------------+------------+------+ | EXODIST | Chad Granum | 23489 | 1 | | BINGOS | Chris Williams | 21476 | 2 | | XSAWYERX | Sawyer X | 13998 | 3 | | ETHER | Karen Etheridge | 13938 | 4 | | TODDR | Todd Rinaldo | 9492 | 5 | | RJBS | Ricardo SIGNES | 9053 | 6 | | LEONT | Leon Timmermans | 7833 | 7 | | NEILB | Neil Bowers | 6642 | 8 | | HAARG | Graham Knop | 5143 | 9 | | OALDERS | Olaf Alders | 4634 | 10 | | PEVANS | Paul Evans | 4398 | 11 | | DAGOLDEN | David Golden | 4184 | 12 | | PETDANCE | Andy Lester | 2967 | 13 | | ISHIGAKI | Kenichi Ishigaki | 2868 | 14 | | DROLSKY | Dave Rolsky | 2824 | 15 | | ATOOMIC | icolas . | 2698 | 16 | | CAPOEIRAB | Chase Whitener | 2631 | 17 | | BARBIE | Barbie | 2603 | 18 | | NWCLARK | Nicholas Clark | 2316 | 19 | | CORION | Max Maischein | 1988 | 20 | | REHSACK | Jens Rehsack | 1905 | 21 | | MIYAGAWA | Tatsuhiko Miyagawa | 1819 | 22 | | TOKUHIROM | Tokuhiro Matsuno''
