Dear PAUSE Admins,
I've been continuing to try and contact Sean Cannon (DODGER).
I said that if he doesn't want to maintain them any more, I'd be happy to get
co-maint on
the following modules, which I've fixed bugs in:
Geo::Coder::HostIP
HTML::ParseBrowser
I asked about him on module-authors, and John Gamble just came back with the
attached email.
I first emailed Sean about HTML::ParseBrowser on October 10th, and about
Geo::Coder::HostIP
on 27th November. I've tried various routes to contact him, including LinkedIn,
but with no response.
I'll mail you again late December / early January, as one month hasn't quite
passed yet for Geo::Coder::HostIP.
cheers,
Neil
