I'm sure everybody who read this thought "Someone else will answer", so it didn't get done. No, perl@ is not the same as ports@. It's not generally a good idea to have important ports (like p5-Moose) relying on a single person or maintainer-timeouts if a sane community is available to handle the job. Please pass maintainer-ship back to perl@. (Speaking as the former maintainer of p5-Moose, who helped prove the point made above). --=20 Lars Balker Rasmussen Consult::Perl
