500 Internal Server Error on edit module metadata

[Matt Sergeant]

I selected Win32::ASP from the edit module metadata screen, then tried to
change the CPAN User-ID to WNODOM (Bill Odom is taking over responsibility
of Win32::ASP), and I get a 500 error.

Hope you can fix it (or transfer the module for me).

New Namespace

[Dave Cross]

I have a module which I've written which allows you to call subroutines
with names which only approximately match their real names. I
realise that this is a completely stupid think to do but I wrote
it as a demonstration of using typeglobs and AUTOLOAD.

Currently I've been calling it Sub::Approx, but having uploaded
it to PAUSE I realise that this will require the creation of
a new namespace on CPAN as the Sub:: space doesn't already exist.

Can someone please either a) tell me how I'd go about getting
the namespace created or b) suggest a better name for the module.

Many thanks,

Dave...

Thanks Graham, I think I found the bug in the meantime and fixed it.
Still needs some testing.

I'd say, go find the other untainting module and use that. If it
really doesn't exist, I know that mod_perl ships with soemthing like
that.

On the utf8 stuff I can say that recent discussions on the Perl
Conference made it very obvious that most of it is broken and anything
you put in a module now will not work over the long run. So maybe
better keep that module somewhat private or give it a short lifetime
in the manpage.
