Modules Question
I use Text::Bastardize off of the CPAN from time to time. I find it mildly amusing, if not terribly practical. However, today when I was working with it, I basically fed it some text that overwhelmed it. What I fed it really wasn't too crazy, so I took a look under the hood. While I was in there, I basically saw a lot of general improvements I would like to make, so I fired off a message to the author. Of course, it bounced. Looking at the CPAN, it looks like it's been around three years since the author contributed anything. So, if memory serves, there is a proper protocol for taking control of an abandoned module, which is what I would like to do. However, I'm having trouble finding it. Could someone point me in the right direction? Thanks. James -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I googles Julian and came up with two email addresses from this page: http://www.monkey.org/openbsd/archive/misc/9904/msg00077.html If that fails I'm not sure. The FAQ on CPAN doesn't help much with this specific case since the mails are bouncing: http://www.cpan.org/misc/cpan-faq.html#How_maintain_module Perhaps Randal will pop his head in and have some advice.

I have no idea why, but it never occurred to me to Google for a person, though it seems so obvious now. I have tried the second address and will see what that nets me.

modules question
Dose anyone know of a exsiting Perl module that will test to see what tape drives are available on Unix box? I looked through the some of the CPAN stuff but didn't find anything that looked like what I might need. Any help would be appreciated.

None that I'm aware of as it is so gnarly across different Unixes to get the device that you'll probably have to go with a system specific command to list all your available drives. e. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

put use (MODULE NAME); at the top of the script.

Re: Modules question
Hi Anna, To find out all the modules installed on your system, refer to the following URL: http:[EMAIL PROTECTED]/msg04057.html To find out about a single one, you can do: perl -MMODULE_NAME -e 1 So, to see if CGI.pm is installed: perl -MCGI -e 1 If you see no error messages, it is installed, if you do.. it isn't.

On Win32, typing ppm verify at the command prompt will list all the modules installed on your system quit will exit the ppm tool [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Help with Modules please. Is there a option I can run with perl to find out if a particular module is installed? Thanks, Anna
