Hi there, I've attempted to contact the author of Win32API::ProcessStatus in order to fix the prerequisite problem specified in this bug:
https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=97460 Following advice on the Internet I also posted publicly about my intent to request take over for the dist here: http://blogs.perl.org/users/graham_ollis/2014/05/intent-to-adopt-win32apiprocessstatus.html I haven't received any feedback from either of these postings. I also sent this email which I am including inline at the end of this message. The email has not been responded to. I am hoping that I can get permission to upload a version of this dist that simply fixes a prerequisite so that it can be installed via CPAN. If anyone can help me out in this task I would greatly appreciate it. If anyone has any concerns about this proposal it would be nice to hear about that too.

The main problem is that it had an undeclared dependency on Win32API::Process. While I was at it I fixed the test so that it would work under Cygwin (where $$ isn't the same as the windows process id). I've put my fixes on GitHub: https://github.com/plicease/Win32API-ProcessStatus My interest in this module comes from some recent work that I did on FFI::Raw where I needed to use psapi.dll from its XS code, and I thought it would be nice to use that API from Perl as well. Do you think you could incorporate these changes and send a new release to CPAN? If you don't have the time or the inclination to do it yourself would you like me to adopt the distribution? If so, I am happy to have co-maint status, but if you're not interested in this module any more, you could give me ownership of that module, as that would give me the ability ot grant co-maint status to others, should the need arise. You can give me permission via the PAUSE web site http://pause.perl.org/pause/authenquery?ACTION=share_perms My PAUSE id is plicease Thanks, Graham ------=_20140206152303_18307 Content-Type: text/html; name="untitled-[2].html" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="untitled-[2].html" <html> <head> <meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1"> </head> <body bgcolor="#FFFFFF" text="#000000"> Hi Ferdinand,<br> <br> I just spent a few minutes trying to get the CPAN module Win32::ProcessStatus to install.
