1. use it often :-) 2. write a module review for perlmonks 3. write some code using the module and post it 4. talk about points 1, 2 and 3 as often as you can 5. and don't waste module authors time with saying "hello", they will be happier when the get a bug report or even the fix for that bug, but search for his web-page on CPAN or even talk about the module in other places (e.g. use.perl.com) Have a nice day All decision is left to your taste	[reply]

Agreed except the "waste time" comment. Getting a message that puts a smile on someone's face is hardly wasted time. :-)	[reply]

Agreed, Tilly. A hello or nice comment is certainly NOT a waste of time at all. We may work on machines, but we are still human, and a kind word can go a long way! Roy Alan	[reply]

Write up a review of the module, how it works and why it rocks yer world. Make your praise useful and it will last longer, that is the best praise there is... -- $you = new YOU; honk() if $you->love(perl)	[reply]
