An attempt to send this message yesterday from my yahoo account failed, apparently due to "Strict DMARC policies at aol and yahoo". So I am trying again using an account which is not the one registered at CPAN; that one has the same username, but, obviously, a different domain than this one, and is cc'ed on this message. Anyhow, down to business:
I have been unable to contact the listed maintainer of Date::Convert. I attempted to do so on July 27 (to mo...@umbc.edu) and August 23 (to that address and mo...@cpan.org and bug-dateconv...@rt.cpan.org); I received bounce messages from the umbc address, and no response from his CPAN email address. He lists a home page in CPAN, but it appears to have not been updated since at least 1996. The current version of the module itself dates back to at least 2000. I discovered, and fixed, some bugs with the code as distributed. I would like to share the fix with the rest of the community. I formally reported some bugs on August 23 (bug #98287 - https://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=98287), and have received no response. There was already a report of a different bug which is pretty easily resolved (https://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=55145); that bug has been open since March 2010 with no response. I would fix that problem at the same time as I fix those which I reported. I signed up with CPAN id OLEIBMAN for the express purpose of fixing this module. Please advise whether I can do so. Thanks.
