Steven, For the past couple of years, I've helped authors who are overly busy release patches which help keep their modules working against the most recent perl. If you give me co-maint access to Bit-Vector, I offer to do a 7.2 release for it to fix the most recently reported problem against the coming perl 5.16
You can do this by going to this url and granting TODDR Co-Maint access to Bit::Vector, Bit::Vector::Overload, and Bit::Vector::String https://pause.perl.org/pause/authenquery?ACTION=share_perms https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=71052 Thanks, Todd Rinaldo to...@cpan.org
