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.

Those improvements could include:

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? I don't have a clear idea of how to proceed: Any comments, help and guidelines would be very appreciated. 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...I don't have an intermediate level, but I think i could be able to do it, yep)
