metacpan-web VS Mediawiki

In January 2018, I proposed a CPAN Butterfly Plan to convert Perl functionality to Raku as closely as possible to the original API. I stated this as a goal because Perl (as a programming language) is so much more than syntax alone. Ask anyone what Perl's unique selling point is, and they will most likely tell you it is CPAN.

MetaCPAN. There are a number of project in the Perl community. This is one of the most interesting ones. source code

Perl has numerous modules for practically everything. Try a search on https://metacpan.org for anything that takes your fancy.

I can point to the module library metacpan.org that has modules to do tons of different things -- I don't know what equivalent resouorce Python has.

A good place for this issue would be https://github.com/metacpan/metacpan-web

All language package index websites are a poor imitation of metacpan.org. Without a doubt it is the single best package website I have used for finding packages, reading docs, examples, version changes, source repo. Everybody should be shamelessly copying it.

While the indicates that this is a Windows-related thing, there are a number of packages on CPAN that are in the Win32 namespace, but also work on Linux. This one, it seems does not. It seems at least one of its dependencies, the Win32-API does not work on anything else besides Windows.

A Perl distribution is an archive of files that includes a Perl module. There are no official rules on what non-module files must be included in a distribution, but they often include (among other things) test scripts, a Makefile.PL, documentation, and the license. These distributions are commonly uploaded to CPAN, which is a place for Perl programmers to upload their Perl distributions for the purpose of sharing their code.

If there are modules being used, you can read their documentation using the perldoc command or looking online at https://metacpan.org

Wikipedia that runs on MediaWiki which is written in PHP. source code

MediaWiki

Do you mean Fandom wiki? You would want some kind of open source wiki platform. MediaWiki (used for Wikipedia) is probably the most popular and full featured.

It's all open source https://github.com/wikimedia/mediawiki

A little money, a little installation work, and this: https://github.com/wikimedia/mediawiki

This is overkill. The entirety of Wikipedia is made available for free download by the Wikimedia foundation, the code is open-source, and anyone can set up their own copy of Wikipedia on a normal PC with a big hard disk. Power this off a portable battery and solar panel and you have off-grid Wikipedia without any hardware hacking.

Last time I had occasion to use one - i used mediawiki
