Hi,<br>
I've just learnt that Randy Kobes (known here as [randyk]) [http://www.cap.ca/en/news/2010-09-20/cap-deeply-saddened-loss-dr-randy-kobes|passed away] on September 19 this year. (This is therefore rather "old" news, and I apologise if I have missed earlier announcements.) <br><br>Many here will be aware of his contribution to perl in the form of the [http://theoryx5.uwinnipeg.ca/|uwinnipeg] ppm repos and [http://kobesearch.cpan.org/|kobesearch]. He had also authored some [http://search.cpan.org/~rkobes/|cpan modules].<br><br>Over the years I had the good fortune to catch a few glimpses (albeit only via email) of the nature of the man ... and what a lovely nature it was ... <br><br>Cheers,<br>Rob
