Re: Re: MIME::Lite 3.0 / MIME::Lite::Maintained

There are procedures in place for dealing with problems like this.

I believe there are, but are they documented anywhere? (if it's not documented, how can authors know)

BTW, i'd like to point out that PAUSE has a permission scheme when it comes to modules. PAUSE authors should check out View Permissions and Change Permissions. I'm not sure if demerphqs new upload will show up as the new version of MIME::Lite, given that the original author has not changed permissions (you can get demerphqs uploads here, but will they show up here).

MJD says you can't just make shit up and expect the computer to know what you mean, retardo!
I run a Win32 PPM repository for perl 5.6x+5.8x. I take requests.

Well there's some stuff in the CPAN FAQ. How do I go about maintaining a module when the author is unresponsive? But, to be honest, that doesn't quite say what I thought it would :) -- <http://www.dave.org.uk> "The first rule of Perl club is you do not talk about Perl club." -- Chip Salzenberg	[reply]

No they wont show up. The indexer has rejected them as not being owned by me. I suppose all I can do is wait for either Eryq to send me a mail, or the modules people to say something. --- demerphq _{<Elian> And I do take a kind of perverse pleasure in having an OO assembly language...}	[reply] [d/l]

I've taken a slighlty different approach with Net::Interface. I upload a tarball marked experimental (append /_\d/ to the version number in the name). This tells the indexer to ignore it, and yet many people find it, apparently via google. `-- I'm not belgian but I play one on TV.`	[reply]
