Has this really been done? That would be great! Now up to ~30-35 degradations. Reini qualified his statement as "the authors of all modules that we [presumably cPanel] use" which was on the order of 600-700 out of tens of thousands modules on the CPAN. Since authors of infrequently used modules are as likely to hard-core error messages, I'd say that this is not yet a done deal. I expect that at least a handful of the modules would require taking over to make a new release or else they're dead wood. --SteffenThread Previous | Thread Next
