Dear Sirs, my name is Andrea Spinelli, my permanent email address is [EMAIL PROTECTED], my personal home page is http://www.geocities.com/RainForest/9626 (but it deals mainly with my family!), and I have some extremely simple functions I would like to contribute to the Math::VecStat package. Specifically, I would like to add functions for multiplying a vector by a scalar, for testing whether an array is ordered, for convoluting vectors. Moreover, I would like to add a test harness to the existing module. I did not do a discussion in public of the topic on the Perl newsgroups, but I am prepared to do so before applying my changes. I have written to the module author exposing my views, but he is not available for further development, as you can read from the attached e-mail exchange. He is reading this message in carbon copy. I therefore propose to become the maintainer of the module on CPAN. In case my proposal is accepted, I will need some pointers to help me become a CPAN author...
