In some cases yes, in some no. Some of my contributions to the CPAN are projects that I'm still interested in but lack the time to deal with right now. Others I no longer have any interest in. > >You can do that by paying me. > Well, i certainly can't enforce this, but whoever sponsors CPAN, So tell me, who *does* sponsor CPAN?

I wonder where that "always" came from. Certainly not from me. You also appear to have not noticed the word "quickly". I will deal with *all* bug reports eventually. Sometimes that will be by fixing them, sometimes it will be by saying "no, that's not a bug", sometimes it will be by saying "I'm not going to fix this, would you like to take over maintenance?", and so on. -- David Cantrell | Enforcer, South London Linguistic Massive Hail Caesar!
