Here's the top 25 of cpanmetadb queries (used by cpanminus) for the
last 7 days, uniqified per IP.

If you call this a useless data at all, that's fine. I think we can
extract very interesting data out of this, especially when we track
and plot counts per few distributions over time, etc.

235 App::cpanminus
176 ExtUtils::ParseXS
175 Module::Build
170 Test::Exception
169 ExtUtils::CBuilder
162 Moose
162 Class::MOP
148 Sub::Uplevel
146 Test::Warn
145 LWP
144 Try::Tiny
134 Tree::DAG_Node
132 Package::DeprecationManager
127 URI
124 Test::Deep
123 Test::NoWarnings
122 HTML::Parser
121 Test::Tester
121 Devel::StackTrace
118 Test::SharedFork
118 Package::Stash
117 Params::Validate
117 List::MoreUtils
117 File::ShareDir
116 Sub::Exporter

(There were 1124 unique IPs)
