I'm afraid I don't, because the interpreter package also contains
many modules.

We should definitely move on, and a vote seems the best way to do this.
I propose to set up a condorcet poll at https://civs.cs.cornell.edu/
lasting for one week with the following options:
cpan
dists
distributions
extensions
modules
packages
perl5
projects
Please: let me know soon if you think we should not have a vote now,
or if you think I've missed any options. I would like to set the poll
up at the weekend.
Thanks,
Dominic.
