I have yet to see any language repository that constrains quality in the way CPAN does with CPAN testers.

CPAN modules must provide POD documentation, must provide a regression test, and must run on several dozen platforms before PAUSE accepts to publish it on CPAN.

Python or Ruby modules, or my favorite Lua, are a bunch of junk compared to CPAN.
