Hey, CPAN suggested that I install the CPAN::WAIT module, but the tests are failing, in part I think because "ls6.informatik.uni-dortmund.de" seems to have a bug; the bug is, it doesn't exist.

So I'm wondering if WAIT is a dead horse, or if it would be worth bringing up a WAIT server on my Church's little dev box and hitting that. Or perhaps somebody already did that, and the CPAN::WAIT docs and tests could be updated.

the WAIT module also fails to install under CPAN, and I"m not sure why ... could be the same problem. Or not.

Before I burn a lot of time, I thought I should seek the wisdom of more enlightened souls.

If I do bring up such a thing, and people so desire, I may make it public.

Handers try to be helpful, and might even do so without a profit motive, if we can't find a way to profit, at least. (http://invisiblehand.church)
