2001 is years before I got involved in Perl. Huh. I'm also guessing a Dist::Zilla screwup.
Anders Nor Berle (Debolaz) wrote the first version of MooseX::Singleton. I took over once I needed to have singleton magic in my code, because the initial implementation was insufficient. MooseX::Singleton 0.01 was a role that wrapped your "new" method. I basically rewrote it entirely to provide a metaclass instead. Dave got involved a few versions later to help clean up. He's still in the process of doing that. But he did not "make" MooseX::Singleton. MooseX::Singleton 0.25 had the correct copyright information: Copyright 2007-2009 Infinity Interactive MooseX::Singleton 0.26 released (by Dave) changed it to: This software is copyright (c) 2001 by Shawn M Moore. I haven't touched MX::Singleton in years, because I stopped doing stuff with singletons. Shawn 2011/4/9 Stevan Little <stevan.lit...@iinteractive.com>: > I KNEW IT!
