I think he won't be bothered if he is asked to update it. And even if so, someone (including me) will be glad to volunteer it instead ;) Well, his web page has a warning saying "no warranty for translations, and translated version is not always up-to-date. Don't forget checking out the original one in English.", which seems fair enough to me. > If it is possible to make a Japanese translation of the current manpage would > it make sense to include a Japanese translation of the README in the > distribution?

In the case of Japanese specific modules (like Encode::JP::* or Date::Japanese::Something), including Japanese translation in the distribution would make sense. However with regard to Storable module, just including URL would be enough for Japanese developers, IMO. -- Tatsuhiko Miyagawa <miyagawa@edge.co.jp>
