in reply to Looking for CPAN module author: Daniel Yacob (String::LCSS)

Given that a number of his modules contain the string "Ethiopic" in their titles, I think there's a good chance that he's this Daniel Yacob.

Cheers,
Rob

    Thank you for looking into this. I agree that it is likely the same person. When I googled, that twitter account did arise, as did fb, linkedin and github. I did stumble upon another email address, and I just sent a message there. Twitter's a bit out of my comfort zone.

      I hit him up on Twitter with a reference to this thread, letting him know that if he's the right person you're looking to contact him. No telling if he'll respond. I imagine if he's this hard to reach about the module he won't mind having another maintainer anyway.

        Thanks for the effort. About a week ago, I updated the OP, but no doubt it is easy to miss. I am now a co-maintainer. I was unable to contact the author, but I was granted permissions by the powers that be. I uploaded a new version of String::LCSS.

        If toolic hasn't had any positive response from the author by now, he's taken the proper approach, and it would be justified to properly take ownership of the module.

        Ironically, it was toolic himself (amongst others) who advised me how to do this 5+ years ago in this PerlMonks post prior to me taking one over, so if he hasn't asked for ownership yet, he definitely knows the process ;)
