howto Politely take over an abandoned CPAN moduleby stevieb (Canon) |

stevieb has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question: Bowing to the infinitely wise monks, I ask: What would be the proper approach to attempt a take-over of a CPAN module that I've patched, but have received no response from the author? I do not want to seem impolite, but six months of attempted contact has produced nothing. The specific module is CGI::Application::Plugin::PageBuilder. I use this module extensively in one of my apps. The patch I wrote is *very* simple. I came across the brokenness when I upgraded from Perl 5.8* to 5.10*:
I don't want anything hostile, so how would one go about dealing with this?. If the original author is truly absent, I am willing to take over responsibility for it Steve Update: s/Plugins/Plugin/ in the module path.
