I put something into the wiki, notice in RecentChanges CPANConfiguration (version 7) Sun, 04 Oct 2009 19:20:00 (mw487.yahoo....@gmail.com) => "added transport notes including Port 587 for manual setting"
referring to my changes near bottom of http://wiki.cpantesters.org/wiki/CPANConfiguration&version=7 but I could not decide where in the pod to put such annotations/comments. The pod seems terse, especially with respect to configuration rather than method use. So, I will settle for wiki, and am hearby bailing out on pod annotation. I hope your changes to the repo can serve for the pod update. On Sat, Oct 3, 2009 at 5:07 PM, David Golden <xda...@gmail.com> wrote: > Annotating and wiki, please.
