And one week later it will be out of date.

Are you offering to maintain such a list week-in week-out for many years?

The Module List does not include this information for a good reason.

There are two efforts underway to develop good solutions:

1. The comprehensive perl archive (via th perl-packrats mailing list)

2. A WWW front-end top the list that would allow module developers
   to add and maintain their own entries including extra details.

Thanks for your offer but it's not the best way forward.
