I'm sorry but I can't. > If not could you give some > short intro what is needed to do to get that module back on CPAN? Sure. Someone will need to show interest on take over maintenance of it. To do so, I would open an issue on the repo [2] saying that I was interested. This person will need a PAUSE account [3]. The admin of the BIOPERLML on PAUSE (that's cjfields) will need to give permissions to that person. The distribution is already setup to be released with bioperl's dzil plugin bundle [4]. The instructions are there. I think a maintainer should at least address issues #1 [5] and #2 [6] before making the release. Also, beware of the following optional dependencies which are not part of the core BioPerl distribution (not sure if already packaged in Debian): * Bio::DB::EMBL * Bio::DB::GenBank * Bio::DB::GenPept * Bio::DB::RefSeq * Bio::Tools::Run::RemoteBlast As well as these also optional dependencies which are also not on CPAN yet: * Bio::DB::RefSeq [7] * Bio::DB::SwissProt [8] David [2] https://github.com/bioperl/Bio-Procedural/issues/ [3] https://pause.perl.org/pause/query [4] https://metacpan.org/pod/Dist::Zilla::PluginBundle::BioPerl#Pushing-releases [5] https://github.com/bioperl/Bio-Procedural/issues/1 [6] https://github.com/bioperl/Bio-Procedural/issues/2 [7] https://github.com/bioperl/Bio-DB-RefSeq [8] https://github.com/bioperl/Bio-DB-SwissProt
