Re: CPAN — resolve the fractured ownership of Archive-Zip

[Fred Moyer]

I'm happy to hand this off completely to someone. I have a two and a five

Also happy to keep pushing out releases from prs that others submit.

Adding a maintainer for mod_perl and associated modules.

[Fred Moyer]

Hello,

I'm emailing to find out how to add user SHAY to the maintainership
list for mod_perl and some associated modules. The email address I
have on file for Andreas Koenig (whom I've contacted previously about
these issues) is returning emails to me.

Thank you

Request for co-maintainership on String::Strip

[Fred Moyer]

Hello,

String::Strip has some serious problems on 64 bit machines. The module
author hasn't responded to the issues, and a release hasn't been done
in over 10 years.  Would you please consider my request for
co-maintainership?  My CPAN author id is PHRED.

https://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=70028

Thank you for your time.

Maintainership of perlipq [was Fwd: Delivery Status Notification (Delay)]

[Fred Moyer]

Hello modules@perl.org

I emailed the perlipq maintainer to see if he was still active, but
did not get a response and it appears that his contact info has become
defunct.

http://search.cpan.org/~jmorris/perlipq-1.25/IPQueue.pm

I would like to open a request to take over maintainership of perlipq.

Thanks,

- Fred
