Oh, Great Monks:

I have embarked upon a new quest. My quest is to brave the great CPAN and leave a module for all to see. This is my first attempt at this quest, and I am looking to the mighty and knowledgeable monks to help guide me.

I have made a module that I have been using, and when I saw brian d foy take over maintainership of the Palm::* modules, I felt I should get my Palm::Keyring module shaped up and uploaded.

Please have a look at my module Palm-Keyring-1.14.tar.gz and help me make this new module as good as possible.

I believe I have packaged it in a way that is acceptable to the CPAN, but I would like criticisms and comments on the module itself, as well as documentation, testing and the packaging bits.

I have gotten a PAUSE ID (ANDREW), read about Module::Build and made a Build.PL. I have used CPAN a pretty fair amount and looked at how other modules are packaged. I ran the module through the Perl::Critic and fixed a lot of the complaints it had, so I guess that is a start, but I am sure there are a lot of things I could be doing better, and I want to get good at this so I can make some more modules.

l8rZ,
