[RFC] New module/namespace proposal - CGI::Alert

[Ed Santiago]

CGI::Alert is a simple-to-use module:

use CGI::Alert '[EMAIL PROTECTED]';

It traps 'die's and warnings, and sends an email notification
to the given maintainer.  Warnings are never shown to the
remote (web) user, but if the script dies, a message is sent
to the browser indicating that an error happened and the
maintainer has been notified.

The generated email includes full stack traces, CGI params,
and other details useful for debugging.

Is the name acceptable?  It doesn't really fall under CGI::Debug,
because CGI::Alert is intended to be on and active all the time.
It is invaluable for catching unexpected situations.

Thanks,
^E

  preferred userID:  ESM [2]

 [1] In case the distinction matters: last name = "Santiago Muñoz"
 [2] I know, "between 4 and 9 characters"... but it looks like
 3-letter UIDs are still being assigned, and I'm an optimist!

  planning to contribute:

  Tie::NIS - read-only interface to NIS (YP).  Does not provide
 the full functionality of Net::NIS, but is simpler
 to use, more portable, and works around the rather
 unpleasant trailing-NUL problems encountered in some maps.

  Agenda::*  (if there's any interest in it) - read and write
 database formats used on the (defunct) Agenda VR3 PDA.

(all names entirely preliminary)

Thanks,

Maintainer change: Net::NIS

[Ed Santiago]

Greetings,

Rik Harris has graciously agreed to let me continue development
on Net::NIS.

I have posted a new release, 0.31, to CPAN and announced it in
c.l.p.announce.

Could some kind soul please do whatever is necessary to transfer
module ownership?

Thanks in advance,
^E
