Esteemed Monks and fellow travelers,

I'm in a position where I've got a tad bit too much to handle, so I'm putting out a request.

For years, I've supported Perl in ways that nearly defied logic relative to my real life. Came from nothing, did something, blah blah blah.

Many have done that. What I appreciate is the attentive use and comprehensive addition to Perl that so many Monks and others have contributed to my favourite language over the last near-20-years.

Now, I'm not as dynamic. I'm not as fluid and liquid to bounce from one thing to the other by the minute. I can't maintain my library of software myself anymore.

For that, and for many other reasons, I'm hoping to liquidate or at least get help with some of my Open Source Software projects.

I'm STEVEB on the CPAN, and my repo stash is here. Take a look and let me know if there's anything you'd like to grab or take part in.

berrybrew, as well as a few CPAN dists I favour I'd like to oversee, but mostly, take a look and let me know if you want to overtake anything.

License retention, DVCS experience (repos stay in a freely-available and accessible location), and a proven love for Perl are absolute requirements. I put my love into what I've done. I would hope someone would take my silly code and keep it something that's usable.

One last statement... don't take job offers seriously without doing extreme and exceptional due diligence. I got fucked up the ass while I had head injuries. Sickening, yep, fucking angering, yep, don't accept any job if you don't get paid in advance. This world is a different place anymore. I am just too tired to be raped without appreciation.

Street-smart linguistic troublemaker who didn't see a fabricated theft coming right at him. I'm ashamed.
