Re: How to have Perl 5 and Perl 6 cohabitate nicely on CPAN

organisations (I know of one still using 5.6.1!). Mind you, if it means adding even more files to the filesystem, we come back to the discussion about rsync :( Cheers, Barbie. -- Birmingham Perl Mongers http://birmingham.pm.org Memoirs Of A Roadie http://barbie.missbarbell.co.uk CPAN Testers

Re: Trimming the CPAN - Automatic Purging

of distributions that should really be kept available? No one would be listening to know that it should still be kept. I would prefer a suggestion email to authors to delete, rather than an email telling them that their distributions will be deleted unless they do something. Cheers, Barbie

Re: Trimming the CPAN - Automatic Purging

The CPAN Testers mirror is currently 10 seconds behind PAUSE :) Cheers, Barbie. -- Birmingham Perl Mongers http://birmingham.pm.org Memoirs Of A Roadie http://barbie.missbarbell.co.uk CPAN Testers Blog http://blog.cpantesters.org YAPC

Re: CMSP 03. Deprecate YAML Tiny dialect for JSON

the whole of CPAN invalid. Thankfully as Parse::CPAN::Meta appears to support both, I think we have that covered. I'm happy to support JSON in core, but would rather we do it visiably rather than under the covers as per the M::B example David mentioned in an earlier post. Cheers, Barbie

Re: CMSP 10. Add a free-text prerequisite field

should be in the README, as it's just informative, and not something that we should expect CPAN/PLUS to parse and understand. Cheers, Barbie. -- Birmingham Perl Mongers http://birmingham.pm.org Memoirs Of A Roadie http://barbie.missbarbell.co.uk CPAN Testers Blog http://blog.cpantesters.org YAPC

Re: CMSP 11. OS/arch/platform-specific requirements

Anyone any idea why I'm not getting mail to this list? Have I been blocked? Nothing in my spam traps and the last mail i got was Aug 26. I note that there has been a flurry of CMSP items in the web archives, but I'm not going to both cut-n-pasting replies to into emails :( Cheers, Barbie
