in reply to Handy dandy CPAN pollution

I'm just writing to say nice job, I wish more people would seriously review the stuff that gets released on CPAN.

I have personally written some bad code(File::DumbLock, fairly recent too), and was flamed for it over at DON'T USE THIS CODE, so I just wanna reassure TOMMY he'll live ;)

I have always maintained any/and all code I write and release should be scrutinized, like all the code that gets released on CPAN should be, but sadly lots and lots and lots of code that gets released clearly does not.

    At least that is not on CPAN. And you posted it on a public forum and realised the importance of a good name.
