Guess I should have read that document - didn't even knew it existed. Which somehow really questions my ability to maintain core Perl modules. :) Thanx for pointing that out! Btw, the confusion arises because I considered only modules that are "taken" from the core and then "released into the wild" (aka CPANed). The other way, where a module exists on CPAN first and is then added to the core - well, I think there the creator(s) of the module should have a much bigger say, which Porting/Contract probably spells out much more elaborate then I ever could :-D Take care, Tels - -- Signed on Tue Feb 27 23:58:18 2007 with key 0x93B84C15.
