I know nothing about Windows tools, and this is getting OT for the list, but ... rt.cpan is fine for me, each module author has different preferences. In my experience almost everyone prefers unified diffs. You can diff any two files (that started off as the same file), so the names don't matter too much. It's often handy when patching a cpan distro to simply copy the entire distro, and then do a recursive diff between the original directory and the directory with your changes. -dave /* http://VegGuide.org http://blog.urth.org Your guide to all that's veg House Absolute(ly Pointless) */

Uh, not yet. I'm still getting HTTP 404 pages. On another front... I've never before contributed open source software, written a Perl module, or even submitted a patch. Well, there's a first time for everything, and today's the day! I want to submit a patch to Silki. I think I've got rt.cpan.org figured out well enough. I have a Bitcard ID.

The CPAN FAQ is vague on these points. (I'm using Microsoft Windows and the MKS Toolkit for diff, not GNU diff.) As much coaching as you or anyone else care to provide an eager novice will be gratefully and graciously received. (You're going to laugh at me when you see what the patch is. It's nonetheless an earnest, useful one, I think.) Jim Monty Tempe, Arizona

Converted datetime.perl.org to run on Silki
I converted the wiki from Kwiki to Silki. Silki requires each user to have a separate account. If you'd like to claim your edits, please let me know your username and I'll edit the account so you can use it. This software has spam checking (which seems to sort of work ;), requires a log in to edit, and adds rel="nofollow" to all links. Hopefully some combination of those will help keep spam down. -dave /* http://VegGuide.org http://blog.urth.org Your guide to all that's veg House Absolute(ly Pointless) */
