I believe this is a serious waste of developer resources. You're asking 23 people that they should do work. You withhold information you already have or at least should have. You ask 23 people to do the same work like all others, without letting them know that you're doing this in parallel. This is not nice. If it is a sociological study about the helpfulness of the cpan population, you must make this clear in advance and you should ask the wider community if they find carrying out studies of them acceptable. But if you want to get things done, a bit more cooperativeness is called for. Please reconsider your strategy. -- andreas
