I hope that if someone really needs this module, he or she will make a quick google search and find it on my page.

A better solution would be for you to take over maintainership of the module on CPAN - and the link that tsee provided above has info on how to do that if you're unable to contact the original author. It's just a matter of sending an email to modules@perl.org. Once they're satisfied that the author can't be contacted, and that the module is abandoned, they'll hand maintainership over to you.

Cheers,
