Perlmonks is not the Test::More bug tracker...

Maybe not. But it is the place where mortals come looking for solutions to perl problems.

You may not feel it worth your time to check by more than semi-annually, but maybe the thousands of perl users here don't have the time to go looking for wherever you've decided to hang out this month either.

    First of all, the author who give code away for free have no obligation what so ever to find out where people might complain about bugs to the authors software.

    Second, if the thousands of perl users have time to hang out on perlmonks and bitch about code they didn't write, but apparently don't have the time to scroll to the bottom of the manual page to find out where to report bugs, or learn the authors email address, well, I won't feel any pity for them.

    And I know that the mentioned email address has been used by Schwern longer than Perlmonks exist.

      well, I won't feel any pity for them.
      But can you feel like keeping quiet? You don't always have to join in on self righteous rants to and project onto others ...
