Hi David: Thanks for your reply. Conveniently, I already have access to Adam's repository.
However, it appears that the module author is Matt Sergeant - not Adam - so I don't know if he has access to upload modules yet (or they will be flagged as unauthorized). So hopefully he is given comaintainership or just takes over maintainership of that module. I really wish there were some sort of standard process drafted that would allow CPAN module developers to take over maintainership of another (abandoned) module. Perhaps there is, and I'm just not aware of it yet?
