It depends on what you want. If you just want to upload your module,
no registration is required.
But if you want more people to use your module, the registration
process will help to:
- get a meaningful module name (so people won't skip your module
because its name does not ring a bell)
- use a name that will be consistent with other modules in the same
category (so people will consider your module when looking for a
solution for their problem)
- avoid future name clash by avoiding ambiguous names
A registered module will be visible through the browsing facility of
search.cpan.org. A non registered module will be visible only through
its distribution and the search engine.
If you want to register a module you must use PAUSE register facility.
Now, it's your call.
