Request for PAUSE id

Preferred UID: BRONG

I'm currently doing most of the development of 
Geert Josten and Egon Willighagen's XML-XSLT 
module (under PAUSE id 'JOSTEN') and will be
handling module builds from the Sourceforge
repository where it's currently stored.
(discussed on xml-xslt list)

Other modules I'm interested in include:
Net::VNC - interface to VNC remote frame buffer
   protocol from ORL. (status: drawingboard)
   (not discussed publically yet)
XML::XPath - may be trying to merge with XML::XSLT
   in the future.  (status: owned MSERGEANT)
   (discussed on xml-xslt list)
Linux::IPChains - a hack I put together at college
   to handle IPChains updates from multiple
   authentication mechanisms with automatic
   perl-user byte-counts and locking.

Archive::Tar::Stream

[Bron Gondwana]

Hi,

CPAN tells me that you've registered the namespace
"Archive::Tar::Stream", but never done anything with
it.

I have a module that I've been sitting on for years,
but I wrote it up for Oslo.pm, and was convinced to
make it into a CPAN package.  The code is here:

http://github.com/brong/Archive-Tar-Stream/

It's ready to ship - we've been using it in production
for a while.  Are you interested in giving up the
namespace, or working together?

Thanks,

Bron.

Thanks Kimmo,

If you have time to look at my code, and to give me
feedback on the design, I'd really appreciate it.

Regards,

Bron.

You mean CamelCase?  Yeah, that's a bit meh.  It's the coding
convention in our codebase, so I stuck with it.  I'd be happy
to change it though.

Interesting idea.  The .tar on disk does indeed make it a totally
different thing though!

Net::FTPServer maintainence

[Bron Gondwana]

(adding modules@perl.org)

I seem to be maintaining the most featureful fork of Net::FTPServer,
and the current author isn't interested in continuing maintainence,
so I would like to make an updated release.

Snipped correspondence below.

Thanks,

Bron.

Thanks Steffen,

I will start a separate email thread with Thorsten so we don't spam
the rest of you.
