One way to help, which can be useful to authors, other comaintainers and everyone interested in the module(s) is to have a publicly hosted version control repository.

This way, you have a trunk, which is the latest pre-release version of your module; tags trees for your released versions and branches trees for development and major projects. I recommend granting read access to all, but restricting commits to known users via htpasswd.

I have recently set one up for my CPAN modules - mine and comaint. I also have some vapourware modules in there. I am willing to include other modules in there, by request.

If any monks want to use it, drop me a /msg.

You can always set up an SVK mirror for developing modules and patches locally - this is recommended.

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
