Ask not what CPAN can do for you, ask what you can do for CPAN. CPAN day falls on the 16th of August. What is CPAN day? The anniversary of the first "true" module upload to CPAN, on the 16th August 1995, and a call to arms for bug fixes, releases and other contributions.

A nice idea, considering that (at time of writing) there are 501 pages of issues on RT (yes, I appreciate many of these are very old or for modules which no longer exist).

See also The ghost of CPAN days past.

Update: that should have said 501 pages of issues.

Update 2: /paves/pages/.

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.


No such thing as a small change
