Uh, not yet. I'm still getting HTTP 404 pages. On another front... I've never before contributed open source software, written a Perl module, or even submitted a patch. Well, there's a first time for everything, and today's the day! I want to submit a patch to Silki. I think I've got rt.cpan.org figured out well enough. I have a Bitcard ID. Now I just have a few questions: Is there a specific way to generate a diff? Must the before and after files be named something specific? Do I attach it as a diff file? The CPAN FAQ is vague on these points. (I'm using Microsoft Windows and the MKS Toolkit for diff, not GNU diff.) As much coaching as you or anyone else care to provide an eager novice will be gratefully and graciously received. (You're going to laugh at me when you see what the patch is. It's nonetheless an earnest, useful one, I think.) Jim Monty Tempe, Arizona
