Hi everybody, I'm just a perl newbie that entered through these monastery gates not so many weeks ago...I was wondering if I could add some extra functionality and fixes to the module Linux::LVM instead of forking it, as many people do with many modules around.

I believe I'm able to work on the module itself with the creator's permission, or to do it in some other way.

What shall I do? Any comments, help and guidelines would be very appreciated, fellow brothers. On the meantime, I'll try to contact the module creator.

Thank you!

(let my faith in Perl Best Practices, Perl::Critic and nice coding guidelines enlighten my path...)
