Hi, I have never figured out how module ownership transfer worked, so I am posting my plea here ;--)
The module Roman.pm is quite useful for working with Roman numerals (it is even mentioned in the Cookbook). Saddly it consists only in one file, Roman.pm, with no Makefile.PL nor tests. I have written those and tried to contact the author of the module, the first time 2 years ago, then again this year (see attached message, dated August 14th). Both times I got no answer. The module itself has not been updated since 1997. Would it be possible either for me to get ownership of the module, or just to upload http://www.xmltwig.com/module/roman/Roman-1.2.tar.gz to PAUSE? I also have a proto that supports numbers above 4000 by using the appropriate unicode characters. It works fine but if someone running a Perl pre-5.6.0 could use it, I would like to know how badly it blows without unicode support. This version is at http://www.xmltwig.com/module/roman/Roman-1.3.tar.gz Thanks -- Michel Rodriguez Perl & XML http://www.xmltwig.com

I have packaged it with a Makefile.PL and tests, it is available at http://xmltwig.com/module/roman/Roman-1.2.tar.gz If you are still maintaining the module you could upload this version to CPAN. Also note that with the addition of unicode to Perl it might be possible to support numbers greater than 4000 now. If you want I can try writing a patch.
