On December 31st, 2011, MARKF decided, in his new year's resolution for 2012, to release a Perl distribution to the CPAN once a week, every week.
This immediately sparked some interest, and although Mark failed to keep his own resolution at some point in March 2012, the game was on. At around the same time, CJM wrote DateTimeX::Seinfeld and set up a board following Mark's rules on http://onceaweek.cjmweb.net/.
In February 2014, NEILB extended the game to include leaderboards for monthly and daily release schedules in addition to the weekly one. Titled the CPAN Regulars Releasers, his version of the game has stricter rules, using the timestamp as recorded by PAUSE, with no exceptions.
CPAN.io uses the same rules as NEILB.
Release something to CPAN each month. How many months can you keep that up?
Timings are in 'PAUSE time', which is GMT. The time for your upload is the timestamp that PAUSE puts on your upload when it goes into CPAN (which you can see on BackPAN). This is very close to the 'Request completed' timestamp, in the first email you get from PAUSE when you upload something.
In the monthly contest, months start on 00:00:00 UTC the first day of the month, and end at midnight UTC on the last day of the month.
The tables below list the top participants up to rank 200.
