One final thing to consider, and then if you’re still keen, I’ll transfer the permissions. If you look at the page on MetaCPAN, you’ll see the blue bars next to the distribution name. If you hover over that, you’ll see this tooltip: This tells you that there are 29 other distributions on CPAN that use Time-ParseDate. And some of those are in turn relied upon by others. So in total there are 49 distributions reliant on Time-ParseDate. So if you do a broken release of Time-ParseDate that means it won’t install, then you also break 49 other distributions, until you fix Time-ParseDate. CPAN Testers is your friend here — whenever you make a change, first do a developer release, and wait up to a week to see how well your changes test out across operating systems and versions of Perl. And if you’re not sure of something, you can ask on IRC and on the module-auth...@perl.org list. Additional people to help fight CPAN bitrot are always welcome, so if you’re ready to join the fray, let me know and I’ll make the transfer :-) Cheers, Neil
