I was going through the Win:: modules and wanted to try a few, but
got stuck when a basic one failed to work:
Win32::API (http://cpan.uwinnipeg.ca/dist/Win32-API).
It was last released over 3 years ago.
The last time the author touched any of his modules was about
three years ago.
There Non of the bugs listed in rt.cpan.org are answered
or addressed. There have been outstanding bugs on this module
for almost 2 years (1st open filed June 25,2004).
I tried the email address listed for the author, but it bounces.
So how are modules pass on once their owners seem to have passed
on CPAN?
The author (Aldo Calpini) CPAN id=ACALPINI, also owns
Lingua-IT-Conjugate
Lingua-IT-Hyphenate
Lingua-Stem-It
Tie-AliasHash
Win32-API
Win32-Sound
Win32Shortcut
-----------
All modules appear to be "stale". The latest released one,
"Tie-AliasHash" was last touched June 26, 2003.
So what is the procedure for dealing with abandoned modules? Are
they put up for adoption or what?
