If you want people to work with you, you can't talk to them like you just did to Shlomi. Since this is a community, you can also work with him to make it all work out. I don't think anyone should have to get anyone's permission to play with open source code. Just because you *think* someone else is behaving badly doesn't mean you have an excuse to. I'd much rather see Shlomi play around with his ideas outside of Test::Harness so we can take only the parts we like for the main line development. -- brian d foy, [EMAIL PROTECTED]
