Help Update Pod::Perldoc! http://blogs.perl.org/users/brian_d_foy/2011/11/help-update-podperldoc.html By brian d foy on November 14, 2011 9:45 PMPod::Perldoc needs love. It's the module behind the perldoc command and has been only lightly maintained by p5p for the past couple of years. I needed to fix a minor issue, discovered that I had filed the oldest tickets against the module, and figured I'd clean up the queue. I'll try to do as much work as I can before the code freeze for Perl 5.16, which is really soon. I'm now the maintainer of the module, and I've gone through each of the tickets and triaged them. I fixed the small, easy things, but the rest of the things take a bit of work. Everything is in my Pod-Perldoc Github repository, so you can easily work and contribute to that. It's up-to-date with the stuff that was applied directly in the perl sources, too.
There's a lot of work to do with Pod::Perldoc::ToMan and pagers and various cross-platfrom issues. There are virtually no tests for the module, so there's a lot of stuff to do there.Besides the actual code work, I just need people to use it and find where the various tiny changes have broken things. And, as if I didn't have enough to do already, if you have other things you need fixed, add them to the Pod-Perldoc RT queue. 1 Comment Ben Bullock | November 15, 2011 1:57 AM | ReplyThe top link requires a login, maybe this would be better: https://rt.cpan.org/Public/Dist/Display.html?Name=Pod-Perldoc _______________________________________________ Boston-pm mailing list [email protected] http://mail.pm.org/mailman/listinfo/boston-pm
