Hello. Didn't mean to inflame anyone with the subject, just figured it'd attract attention.
For a little while now I've been trying to contact the owner of the NetPacket namespace (Tim Potter) unsuccessfully, as I've enhanced the functionality of some of his code and added new functionality to other parts. I'd like to place my code into CPAN, but would rather do it with his blessing...and add my enhancements to his code with his blessing as well. Unfortounately, he seems to not be around. What's the best way to go about doing this? I don't want to step on anyones toes, but I'd also like to put code out there for the open source community to use... I recently have created a couple of new modules: NetPacket::SpanningTree - Provides Spanning Tree packet encoding/decoding (including Rapid Spanning Tree) NetPacket::LLC - Provides Link Layer Control packet encoding/decoding I've also made enhancements to NetPacket::Ethernet to support 802.1 packet decoding. I've also got more modules in this namespace that I will be developing soon... thanks chander
