The only information that I have about the author is that he goes by Porp, and his e-mail is (supposed to be) porp@porpucs.com.

The module gets a bit hairy. The modules is called "LISTGEN" and I have no installation files for it. It's purpose is to generate mp3 playlists based on a certain amount of criteria. That alone is a certain questionable cause. While I do have a bug fix for the module...do we really need to have another list generation utility on CPAN? I was actually likely going to switch to a different module -- one that has a maintainer. The only reason I'm using it now is because it was the very first module I ever worked with. I've learned a lot more...and I would like to switch gears a bit.

I guess my original question is more for hypothetical situations. This particular module is in need of a patch, however, and if there were to be some way to let it be known that a fix exists...then I'd like to offer it up.
