Phalanx is a project initiated by the Perl QA Kwalitee Team to write more tests for the core Perl distribution along with a number of CPAN modules. Apparently it was inspired by the Ponie project since it needs lots and lots of core and noncore tests to see if replacing the current Perl5 engine with Parrot works properly. They're targeting 100 modules to improve the tests, and SPOPS is among them. I think this is a good thing, the crappy lone rating notwithstanding.
