How can I suggest a change to File::Compare's POD on CPAN?

zork42 has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hi

I'd like to suggest a change to File::Compare's POD. Most CPAN modules have a "View/Report Bugs" link, but this page does not.
The author has an email address here: http://search.cpan.org/~rjbs/.
Should I just email him, or is there a more "official" way to do it?

FYI the change I'm suggesting is very minor. It just makes implied behaviour explicit:

Change:

The File::Compare::compare function compares the contents of two sources, each of which can be a file or a file handle. It is exported from File::Compare by default.

To:

The File::Compare::compare function compares the contents of two sources, each of which can be a file name or a file handle. All file names will be opened in binmode. It is exported from File::Compare by default.

Thanks

As File::Compare is distributed with Perl, the perlbug utility would be the appropriate way. Actually, the module is even maintained by p5p, as Porting/Maintainers.pl tells us, but I'm unaware of an official way to query the upstream status of a module unless you have a Perl source tree installed.

MetaCPAN ~~gives~~ aggregates a bit more information. As Corion stated, it is part of perl core. --MidLifeXis	[reply]
