CPAN::Forum
Hi fellow module-authors, I have been working on this for more than half a year on and off. (mostly off) Finally I think it has the bare minimum to open the service. CPAN::Forum is a web forum to discuss CPAN modules. One of the objectives is to let people easily monitor discussions on several modules of their interest without subscribing to many mailing lists. It will also help lots of module authors for modules that do not have a mailing list (I guess about 95% of all the modules on CPAN) to provide support. If you are interested you can check it out at http://www.cpanforum.com/ So if you are a module author but your module does not have its own mailing list or web forum yet, you can make use of CPAN::Forum Let your users know that your module can be discussed at http://www.cpanforum.com/dist/Distro-Name and they will be directed to the sub forum of your distribution. You can also subscribe to get e-mail notification whenever someone posts to this distribution without visiting the site. I'd appreciate your feedback either here or better yet on http://www.cpanforum.com/dist/CPAN-Forum regards Gabor
DCOP module
Dear fellow-authors, Yesterday I have seen that SuSE has produced some Perl modules that offer bindings to KDE. Though, I have been contemplating if it was possible to develop a module that can register a program with a running DCOP-Server and thus render a program controllable from outside of the execution path. This concept would increase the manageability of perl code dramatically. Unfortunately I am busy with my XML::Index::CADG module, so I cannot start another project. My question: Is anybody about to develop such a thing? Regards Markus

I don't think I can do that. For one thing I can't make sure that a future PAUSE id will not be already taken on the forum. How would you implement it and if someone comes along and claims he is DCONWAY how can I make sure he really is DCONWAY from PAUSE ? Gabor

The same hack as rt.cpan.org uses - attempt a login on pause.cpan.org using the ID and password provided. If PAUSE accepts it, then you know it's the real thing. I can't think of a future-proof way of avoiding IDs you allocate conflicting with PAUSE, unless you and Andreas collaborate Nicholas Clark

The new forum currently requires registrants to use lowercase names. Problem solved. -- Bruce J Keeler [EMAIL PROTECTED]
