in reply to Help publishing my DB migration project

"Advice on how to get a Perl partner to help me finish the tool. Specifically the tests suite."

Perhaps start up an IRC channel on irc.perl.org, blog about the project on blogs.perl.org and other places... give a talk at a Perl Mongers meeting or other conference, and rally interest. Make sure your project has a license that is chosen from one of the common open source licenses.

"Get someone to review my code so I can be confident I'm in the right path"

See above.

"Advice on what are the next steps or what I'm still missing to get t publish my project in CPAN"

There are many resources that exist for how to publish modules on CPAN. Though it may be a little old, Sam Treagar's book: Writing Perl Modules for CPAN is useful.

    Thanks for your response. One of the things I have no idea yet is how to expose the command line tool, because even though the project has a vast code that might be useful as a library. Its main goal is to install as a command line tool.

      I really did try to understand what this question in the form of a statement is asking. It sounds like you might learn what you need with respect to installing executables by reading through ExtUtils::MakeMaker, which discusses how to choreograph the installation of executables bundled with or built by the makefile for your module distribution.

      There's a lot of prior art out there too. Look in the App:: namespace on CPAN, for example.

    What do you need to get visibility on PrePAN. I've posted the code with a short description pointing to the repo but I haven't get any response from anyone. Thanks in advance

      Did you post on blogs.perl? That seems to be more active and IIRC there's a bot that announces new posts on reddit and twitter.

      Start by linking to it from here. Then pump it out to your social media sphere and drop a note to modules@perl.org.

      Note that the Synopsis field is usually for a short piece of code demonstrating how the module would be used.
