Hi-- I'd appreciate a bit of advice. I'm newly registered with PAUSE and what I'd like to do is take over maintenance of the IniConf module. I've run into a few bugs in it [and overall I have some other thoughts about ways to spiff it up some] and I haven't been able to contact the current owner of the module. I posted a note to this effect on comp.lang.perl.modules and got no comment at all, one way or the other, so I assume that few, if any, of the folk in the community have much of an opinion about this module.. What's the preferred way to do this? I can just create a brand new module, call it the same thing, 'IniConf', and make sure the original author gets appropriate credit. [and whether you remove or do something like that to the old module [which'll basically be getting way out of date and not be supported] is a separate matter...
