"GitHub Meets CPAN" presents a list of users who have set their GitHub account at MetaCPAN. This app uses the MetaCPAN
API as well as the GitHub
API (Pithub) to gather
all the information presented here. It is hosted by the MetaCPAN project
and uses the Mojolicious Web
Framework. Fastly provides the
caching layer which makes it so fast. You can fork this project on
GitHub. The guy who was so bored to write this is called plu. The rank is calculated by this
formula:
(count of your followers) + (sum of watchers of all of your repositories) + (sum of forks of all of your repositories) = rank
Currently there are 778 users listed.
