Here's my experience. FWIW, my opinion would be that you've done what needs to be done. http://www.perlmonks.org/?node_id=571832 Re^2: Take Back Your Modules! by szabgab on Sep 19, 2006 at 09:44 UTC If you are willing to maintain it you can start by creating a new release (preferably use a version number with _01 at the end to indicate developer release.) and upload it to PAUSE. In the case of Pod::HtmlEasy that would be Pod-HtmlEasy-0.08_01. Ask others to test your version of the module. Then send an e-mail to modu...@perl.org and ask the admins of CPAN to give you maintainership. "Andreas J.

And please CC modu...@perl.org on these mails. It's good when it's visible in the archives how it came to the decision to change the maintainer. Thanks, -- andreas
