(i) MetaCPAN favourites weekly report

I often check the "recent" area at CPAN in order to see the modules publication. Now, I start a new weekly serie that shows the distributions recently voted (++) at metacpan. I think this is a good indicator about the perl users opinion. Hope this helps to find good distributions and discover new ones.
It would be great to read your comments...
