in reply to The Unexplored Territory

The set of dual-lived modules covered by App::DualLivedDiff is not complete but covers only those for which I wrote a mapping. Since I wrote App::DualLivedDiff, Dave Mitchell added the script Porting/core-cpan-diff to the perl core (in 5.10.1 and 5.11.x). It's a rewrite of App::DualLivedDiff that uses the information available from Porting/Maintainers.pl (in core) instead of another set of module/file associations. Maybe you should have a look at the distribution info in Porting/Maintainers.pl (also check out Porting/Maintainers). It's essentially guaranteed to be kept up to date.

    Thanks for the info. I'm looking at it now. I have a question for you. Which direction would you like to see the dualLived modules go? I'm familiar with the "keep" and the "dump" camps, but I'm in the 3rd "keep or dump" camp:). Also, I have a lot of time on my hands, so I have some time to work with this. Any ideas? Thanks.
