So, it is what it is

Was doing my every-few-day look on CPAN to see what's come through, and saw something interesting.

I poked, and was enlightened as an articulate, detailed and responsive person got back to me.

It's nice to know there are Perl 'people' out there, even beyond the areas you ever would expect.

Got in touch, spoke about next steps, and had an overall good 'talk', about how to move forward on a Perl project.

Doesn't mean much, but this is my 2,500'th post here, and I thought I'd use it to say that I had met someone outside of the Perlmonks realm, who I'm going to work with to forward [Pp]erl in areas that it almost doesn't seem plausible.

That's my 0x9C4'th story.

I filed a bug report and also wrote a thank you to a cpan author -- had the same feeling when they wrote back. Good luck. I'm sure you'll bring back some juicy news of the real world!!	[reply]

As a CPAN author (and published Open Source author in general) myself, it's always enlightening when people engage me regarding my efforts, whether it's a bug report, a patch, thoughts on a new feature, or simply someone reaching out to say "Thanks for your work!". A decent part of what keeps me engaged is little things like that. That's also why I periodically will post "Thank You!" posts here on PM. If it weren't for the folks here, I certainly wouldn't have accomplished what I have, and honestly, may not have taken to love Perl as much as I do.	[reply]
