Ahah, now I see the correct module name, I can browse the source and see what the issue is. The only difficulty is that the module could be somebody's incredibly poor taste sick joke, and people could raise the old chestnut argument about free speech. If the module were in the Acme:: namespace, there might be a case. But as it's not, my vote is for nuking the module and reprimanding the author.
I can see the "free speech" argument coming up....
From the Time Cube website: "The damn bastards suppress free speech, by
denying Time Cube debate discussion." I viewed the module's source. For me, it's worthless and I doubt I'll ever look at it again, nor will I ever have a need for it. For me, it's like a dent on my car. I hate it being there and I only think about it when I see it or someone brings it up. I followed Andy's link to the old blog and had a good chuckle. I can't imagine sitting down with this guy for a conversation. As far as removing it from CPAN, my first reaction was to say, "Absolutely, it should come down." Then, I drew 1 point on my nose, 1 point on each of my ears (which gave me 3 corners of a square). When I realized that the other corner is located on the back of my head (aka the "back corner"), making four corners, it all became clear ;-) I disagree with it being on CPAN (actually, I disagree with it completely), too many bugs ;-). I may need to start reporting some of them to RT..... (I wonder what would happen if he were flooded with bug requests) The Bantown Public License isn't listed as an OSI 'approved' license. If that's a reason it can be taken down, I vote yes. Jeremy
