Believe me, I have tried everything. I tried to contact the original author several times, asked help at every possible forum, even at comp.lang. perl.modules, etc. This was several years ago. Finally, I gave up. I hope that if someone really needs this module, he or she will make a quick google search and find it on my page. Something really ought to be done about unmaintained modules at CPAN. But I am not the first one saying that, and so far nothing has happened.
