Package: wnpp Severity: normal The current maintainer of libclass-multimethods-perl, Sean 'Shaleh' Perry <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, is apparently not active anymore. Therefore, I orphan this package now. If you want to be the new maintainer, please take it -- see http://www.debian.org/devel/wnpp/index.html#howto-o for detailed instructions how to adopt a package properly.

Generally speaking, multiple dispatch is needed whenever two or more objects belonging to different class hierarchies are going to interact, and we need to do different things depending on the combination of actual types of those objects. Typical applications that need this kind of ability include graphical user interfaces, image processing libraries, mixed-precision numerical computation systems, and most types of simulations. Justification: Most packages out of date, plenty of NMUs, email has bounced for ages -- Martin Michlmayr [EMAIL PROTECTED]
