Your email prompted me to look at the forums for the modules I maintain and contribute to. Interestingly they all go to http://cpanforum.com/dist/XXX except DBD::ODBC which goes to http://dbi.perl.org/. I presume that is because I added: resources: license: http://dev.perl.org/licenses/ bugtracker: http://rt.cpan.org/Public/Dist/Display.html?Name=DBD-ODBC MailingList: http://dbi.perl.org/ repository: http://svn.perl.org/modules/dbd-odbc to the META.yml file in DBD::ODBC. I had not realised it changed the forum on cpan - perhaps others might not either. I'm now not sure if I prefer it that way or not. There are a lot more people on the dbi-users and dbi-dev lists than subscribed to the DBD::ODBC cpan forum but then you have to subscribe separately to those. Martin -- Martin J.
