Both of those require human intervention if you host it on svn.perl.org. For my own modules, I might consider it, but for core modules, I feel they should go somewhere more 'official'. The contact information Tim sent is right. As Andy says we are encouraging people to look at code.google.com. As for modules getting stuck/lost there if the author goes away: The people at Google working on Google Code are friendly and helpful, I am sure we'll be able to sort that out even if Robert didn't work there and had internal access too. That being said, we are happy to host things on svn.perl.org too, in particular core modules - partly for some of the reasons you list. Just know that the UI for setting up access stuff is sending emails to RT. We have plans to make something better for that, but we made them when Sourceforge was state of the art. Since the advent of Google Code it's fallen back on the priority list. - ask

Re: Anyone experiencing problems with rt.cpan.org?
Ovid wrote: In the last day or so, every time I go to rt.cpan.org, it seems to nearly finish loading a page and then just stalls. My problem was that I couldn't even log in yesterday. I eventually filed a bug report with perlbug-admin at perl and Robert had to diddle the database to get me sorted. Wasn't that rt._perl_.org? To the original poster: Posting about problems with a cpan.org or perl.org on a random-ish list or (worse) on use.perl or perlmonks is never the best way to get it resolved. - ask
Re: DNS zone transfer module
Chris wrote: I created a module that extends Net::DNS::Resolver to make zone transfers a little easier. It looks up the nameserver records for a zone, and then performs transfers from each nameserver until it gets a response. SYNOSIS use Net::DNS; use Net::DNS::Resolver::ForceAxfer; I was going to suggest Net::DNS::Resolver::AXFR, but that's not really right as the smarts in your module is looking up NS records -- not actually doing the AXFR (regular Net::DNS can do that). Net::DNS::Resolver::TransferKit is pretty good, except it doesn't mention axfr. :-) Net::DNS::Resolver::AXFRKit ? AXFRHelper ? - ask
