I’ve been in touch with Jeff, the author of Term::Pager, and he doesn’t want to grant co-maint. If there are changes you’d like to see, you have at least two options: 1. You could email Jeff and describe the changes you’d like to see, and ask if he’s open to them, and if so how he’d like to see them implemented. The github repo is https://github.com/jaw0/Term-Pager. You could open issues for the individual points you covered in your big patch, and deal with them individually. 2. You could fork the module and create your own with a different name. Best for CPAN if you pursue option 1 first though. Cheers, Neil
