If only there were a way to get a list of which distributions depend on your module, so you could notify the authors of any impending changes ... http://deps.cpantesters.org/depended-on-by.pl?module=Test::Pod Now, admittedly this doesn't include any dists which don't declare the dependency but will run the tests if Test::Pod is already installed (like, errm, loads of my code. Oops), but it's a good start. Otherwise, it's not exactly difficult to grep the CPAN. -- David Cantrell | even more awesome than a panda-fur coat "IMO, the primary historical significance of Unix is that it marks the time in computer history where CPUs became so cheap that it was possible to build an operating system without adult supervision." -- Russ Holsclaw in a.f.c
