Have you *seen* how much time p5p spends on keeping little-used modules that someone successfully argued were absoutely vital to the future of Perl now and forever up to date?

If you want to talk about a low work to value ratio, look at keeping things like B::CC up to date and passing their tests. Now there's a vestigial organ. -- c
