If needed Ill volunteer take over maintenance of this (my cpan id is

I've cc'ed him on this mail. We'd be happy if other maintainers were
added I should think, especially if they were handling VMS. :-)
There was also someone else who stepped forward at some point (or maybe
everyone else stepped back) to take it over a few months ago, but I
guess it hasn't happened and I'll be danged if I can't remember who it
was. Schwern, you remember?
I think Randy Kobes volunteered to take over some of the "Modules For
Sale"[1], but I don't recall which ones; and, to the best of my
knowledge, no one has pried any of them out of Schwern's hands yet. ;)
Actually, Schwern made a reasonable request that someone show commitment
to maintaining them first[1]. For example, knocking of something related
in RT[2].
Either/Both Randy or Yves would make good maintainers, and I'll help
where I can (I'm too unpredictable and irresponsible to maintain =).
I've put together a couple of these modules in a dist[3], and I'll try
to help put together a "non-trivial patch" to help pry them loose...
Randy.
