I contribute to several OSS projects, most of which use Perl. I have a couple of modules that I use in some of my scripts, and a number of these could be generally useful to others, particularly those writing code for libraries (i.e. the places with books, not code libraries, necessarily). I plan my first contribution to be a class module for looking up attributes in a MARC21 bibliographic record. I hope to use the name MARC21::FixedFieldMap. I also have a small module on github for using JSON files as simple application preferences. Not sure that would really fit here as I think there is already a Config::JSON module. If not, I could turn my module into something like that. Not sure what other modules I'll be contributing in the future. I've been using Perl 5 for about two decades, and I've been using CPAN to find other's useful modules since about the time it was started. In all that time I've never contributed and think I should. Just to be clear, my main reason for asking for an id is the MARC21::FixedFieldMap module. It's the first thing I've done that I think is worthy of sharing via CPAN.
