I think you are free to put your "will" everywhere you like and think it'll be found.

IMHO from a general legal and organizational point of view, it should be somehow like and near the licence information in your module.

Different people will want to handle it differently on a module's basis (competence varies, a DBI expert might not be the best to handle a Tk module) and general schemes would be nice (like hypothetical "in case of longer absence the Saints of PerlMonk should poll" or "the most depending CPAN authors should decide").

BUT from a practical view people are reluctant to talk about their own death, so hiding it in Makefile or Meta sounds more feasible.

In the end it should be somewhere where the CPAN admins can easily retrieve and handle it.

edit

And "absence" should be defined, being 10 years coma or going missing in an Asian land war (freely citing Brian d Foy) are not much better.

Probably all of this is better handled by an institutionalized fork and branch technique... ?

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
