I’m one of the PAUSE admins.
I’ve tried to contact Richard via LinkedIn, to see if he’s happy for you to get co-maint on Date::Business.
Thank you Neil. I've asked the good folks at Perlmonks.org and he's not there. He is on LinkedIn, unfortunately I cannot contact him directly without paying for LinkedIn premium (I already tried premium some time ago, I'm not eligible for a free trial). I tried using the general contact information for him at the domains he owns too.
We prefer to have explicit permission for someone getting co-maint, but if we don’t hear back from him, I’ll give you co-maint on his behalf, given it’s more than 20 years since he released this.
All I really wanted to do is change the Makefile.PL file so it honors PERL_MM_USE_DEFAULT. The "hard ask" is an issue for GnuCash users using the GnuCash utility that installs the Finance::Quote module for getting stock quotes.
Thank you. Bruce S.
