Instead of removing any modules, edit the docs of the library stating the modules are obsolete, unfinished, broken etc. If there are any other modules that you know of to be used as an alternative, list them, but keep the latest revisions of your libraries on CPAN.
Even if you think noone is using your code, some poor geek out there might be playing with it, and another one will even try to hack it into something better/useful. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Gabor Szabo" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Friday, May 07, 2004 11:00 PM Subject: getting rid of some unmaintained modules > > I have released 3 modules to CPAN earlier, when I thought it is fun to > have some modules up there.
