Hi Matt,
Thanks for this. As you say it looks pretty clear from this.
I have now registered as a developer and have packaged up my updated
version of the module.
One question to PAUSE team...
In the new README file that I have created, I have put the following, do you
think this suitably recognises Stacy's contribution or do you have some other
form of words:
"AUTHOR

> I found the note I had from Stacy Lacy once upon a time. It was a
> newsgroup posting as well; I've included it here.
>
> It seems pretty clear that adoption is okay with Stacy Lacy.
