Has anyone heard from James Freeman, the maintainer of CGI::Simple
(http://search.cpan.org/dist/Cgi-Simple/)? It's not been updated in a
couple of years, the outstanding bugs appear to mostly be related to
the same issue, and I tried emailing him about this using the contact

out of curiosity, I checked his CPAN directory. All the other modules
appear to be released-once-and-never-touched-again. None of them appear
to be listed as prereqs of other modules
Algorithm-HowSimilar-0.01
Algorithm-LCSS-0.01
File-SortedSeek-0.012
Geo-Coordinates-VandH-XS-0.01
Heap-Priority-0.01
Math-Trig-Units-0.03
File-SortedSeek has an open ticket, and that is merely a wishlist item
pointing out that the code could be greatly simplified by reimplementing
it in terms of Search::Dict, which is core (since forever).
Do we wait until someone else manifests a need to dust off one of them
to hand over maintenance? Or do we forget about it until next time? If
it's worth it, then I would volunteer.
