in thread Is this module safe to use -> Threads::Queue::Any

I have another question on another topic, If you don't mind it.

I have xml config file I am reading and I use XML Checker to validate against dtd.

I went to cpan to download XML::Checker and it as in big red letters "UNAUTHORIZED" release. Is it a problem for me to use it, would u use it. I already have code to use it.

Thanks for all your help.

    I wouldn't take much notice of the big red unauthorised. It just means it is a release by other than the original author/current maintainer. I have a module in a similar status that is demonstrably better than the "authorised" release.

    I would however take notice of the following:

    CAVEATS

    This is an alpha release. It is not actively maintained, patches are accepted and incoporated in new releases, but that's about it. If you are interested in taking over maintimance of the module, email tjmather@tjmather.com.

    For a much faster, and correct DTD validator, see XML::LibXML. It uses the libxml2 library to validate DTD.
