There were some people talking about problems with it the other day
(Thursday?) on magnet #perl. I think Adam Kennedy mentioned slowness,
and Jesse was around at the time and sounded like he was going to look
into it. Yeah, I know, vague.

I believe the thing that generates the coverage reports

I'm with Aristotle. I think it's an urge that's come out of the
development community -- specifically, *certain* development
communities -- rather than from an end-user desire for quality. Many
of the best -tested pieces of software are the infrastructure type
things that only developers
Does anyone else find that SKIP: { } blocks bugger up the debugger?
I'll be happily bouncing on the "n" key to get to round about the

happen with most of CPAN.

At YAPC, I told Nat I wanted to get involved with modules-related work
for Perl 6. To that end, I've put together a bit of a list of what I
think needs to be done in that area. The list appears below, in POD

I've been moving to Canada and rather busy. So I apologise for not
having brought this up earlier, which I really should have done as
