I'm the current keeper of the Verio:: namespace but as I'm no longer working for Verio, I'd like to get this handed off to Jason Stevens ([EMAIL PROTECTED], who's been cc'd on this mail) as soon as possible. Please ACK both of us if/when this is handed off, or with any questions, concerns, or crisises. thanks much, dean. PS - My PAUSE login won't go away when this happens will it? -- my $email = qr{ dean(h)?@(?(1)verio\.net # @ work if h | ero\.com) }x; # other
