I believe in this context "it" means whatever module is being discussed.

Really?  Aside from pre-rolled applications, I don't know about any.
And that's really the point.  How am I supposed to find out about any
projects in this abundance?  CPAN.  I'm prefectly willing to believe you
about that abundance, but I don't have the means to find those projects,
and with CPAN existing, I'm inclined to assume those projects don't WANT
to be found if they aren't placed there.

*shrug* The trick about de facto standards is that people use them
because they're true, and they're true because people use them.  I'm
sorry if you've run into a bad attitude from CPAN users, but I really
think that hiding from the bad users can only be accomplished by hiding
form the majority of ALL users, which is what happens when a project
doesn't exist on CPAN.

So: Thanks for your work on Class::DBI.  This is one user that likes it,
and would like to see future versions on CPAN.
