That's me. Andreas? How do I go about updating my address on PAUSE? I've long since lost the author info. I stopped working at elegant over two years ago and they stopped supporting my email address about a year ago. My new address [EMAIL PROTECTED] is in my own domain, so it will not change in the future. I thought I had uploaded an Array::Heap module. The system I wrote it on has been shut down for a while - I need to fix it after a disk crash but it hasn't been my primary system for a long time so I haven't gotten around to it. The Heap::Binary module (in Heap) provides a binary heap interface as an alternative to the faster Fibonacci and binomial heap interfaces. However, I did write a much simpler package to manage a caller-provided array as a heap. Marc (or Autrijus, whichever of you was the person offering to take over the Array::Heap namespace - I having trouble decoding the quotation indents) please reply to me. If you give me a few weeks to dig out my original code, we can compare and decide where to proceed. Obviously, there is no large installed user base that depends upon the unpublished Array::Heap code. (The Heap module, and its component modules, does get used from some of the Graph routines - Jarkko had the pleasure of helping me debug the Heap routines as he tested out his Graph routines for the book.) My intent for these was that the Array::Heap set would be a small simple set of functions for managing an array as a heap, while the Heap::* would be the inheritable object-oriented heap mechanisms for which you provided an Element sub-component for your own purposes - more overhead in using them, but more power and flexibility available as a result. > > On Monday, October 6, 2003, at 06:14 AM, Andreas J Koenig wrote: > > >>>>>>On Fri, 3 Oct 2003 23:03:57 +0200, <[EMAIL PROTECTED] ( Marc) (A.) > >>>>>>(Lehmann )> said: > > > >>On Tue, Sep 23, 2003 at 12:56:58PM +0800, Autrijus Tang > >><[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > >>>??? ?|, 2003-09-18 15:47, Perl Authors Upload Server ????????? > >>>>The following module was proposed for inclusion in the Module List: > >>>> modid: Arary::Heap2 > >>> > >>>"Arary" will not do.
