CGI::Simple
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 email he provided at http://www.perlmonks.org/?node=tachyon. I'm not particularly keen on taking over this distribution, but he's not fixing this bug or even responding. He also notes that Perl is a fond corner of [his] past, suggesting that unless someone snags CGI::Simple, this very popular (and useful!) module will not be fixed.

I'm happy to take it on and fix any outstanding bugs. I was looking at it just the other day coincidentally. -- Andy Armstrong, hexten.net

One question, If i wont to write perl bindings for some library what
should i use ? I am thinking about bindings for rsbac.
SWIG is probably a good start, although it doesn't play well with CPAN
(it can be made to, though). Otherwise there's h2xs if you want to
write a real XS binding. Check out the manual pages for each.

I've just made a new release that tidies up the tests (they now use Test::More), adds support for mod_perl 2 (tested locally but almost certainly needs more testing). I'm going to hit the mod_perl mailing lists to try to recruit someone who can test it in a realistic mp2 environment. When you say 'the outstanding bugs' were you referring to the mp2 issue? I'm planning to work through all the bugs but I guessed that that one was probably the most pressing. -- Andy Armstrong, hexten.net
