19.5. Announcing the Module
How will users learn about your module? Your module gets noticed automatically in many places, including:
The "Recent modules" page of http://search.cpan.org The "new modules" section of http://use.perl.org A daily announcement in the "Perl news" mailing list An IRC bot on a few of the Perl-related IRC channels announces uploads as soon as they become available An update or an uninstalled module in one of the CPAN shells, CPAN.pm, or CPANPLUS.pm
For greater visibility, you can also prepare a short notice to be posted to the Usenet comp.lang.perl.announce newsgroup. Just post the notice, and within a day or two, your news posting will be whisking around to news servers all over the globe.
