Hi there! Lot's of CPAN related entries this week, but the one I wanted to point out was aimed at CPAN authors. It seem PAUSE is running out of disk-space and there a lot of old releases that could be deleted and left on BackPAN only where they will live happily ever after. To the the rest of the readers: This is a good time to contribute to a CPAN module or to even adopt one that needs some extra love. Enjoy the week! Gabor Szabo |
