If you take a look at the module's side bar on metacpan (the one on the left), the statistics are pretty telling. Seven untouched bugs most of which are years old; failing test suite. I wouldn't say it's necessarily the end of the road for this module. It just needs a bit of love. If somebody were to adopt it, it could be seaworthy in a matter of weeks. `perl -E'sub Monkey::do{say$_,for@_,do{($monkey=[caller(0)]->[3])=~s{::}{ }and$monkey}}"Monkey say"->Monkey::do'`	[reply]

How do you determine if a module is past its end of life? What does that mean? For me anything with /PHP/ in the name is no-go, but the AFF continues to release modules , so the module is alive, for a price, probably :)	[reply]
