Hi,

I recently noticed a bug in Ogg::Vorbis::Header which was preventing my module AudioFile::Info::Ogg::Vorbis::Header from working on Perl 5.22 and greater.

The bug is https://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=104869 and the fix is simple.

https://github.com/davorg/Ogg-Vorbis-Header/commit/3f5c1579a1164da4d4d08b8ba0ed5f1b6e07c6d8

The last update to Ogg::Vorbis::Header was in 2003 and the author appears to have gone missing. Two weeks ago, I sent the email below. I have received no reply.

Could you please give me co-maint on Ogg::Vorbis::Header so that I can release a fixed version of this module.

Let me know if you have any further questions.

Thanks,

Dave...

Hi Dan,

I suspect it's been a very long time since you had any interest in your CPAN module Ogg::Vorbis::Header. It's over 13 years since you released a version.

But I'm the author of AudioFile::Info::Ogg::Vorbis::Header which uses your module and it's just come to my attention that no-one can use my module on modern versions of Perl as your module no longer builds successfully due to this bug:

  https://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=104869

If you wanted to take the time to fix this problem, then that would be great. But if (as seems more likely) you no longer have any interest, I'd be happy to take over maintenance of the module in order to bring it up to date.

Please let me know what you think.

Cheers,

Dave...
