My gripe, Juerd, is that I that when I see childish responses such as these:

I too am excited , I can't believe grantm's selfishness (CPAN is not a crap factory).

Man oh man am I excited, so much so that I am going to write to grantm, and tell everybody I know to avoid his CPAN directory.

can any fool add his own favourite Foo::Bar::Broken?

Have you seen my latest module? **mocking code**

that I very much wanted to never bother coming back here, as this kind of thing happens all the time. Its not like grantm is an stupid beginnier, his XML::Simple module seems to be quite popular. Even if he was, he most certainly did not deserve to be treated as such. I never said that you weren't allowed to voice complaints on his actions, but perhaps it could have been voiced a little better?
