Mail-Webmail-Gmail has a new version today, so I consider it as actively maintained and its up to the owner to add you as a co-maintainer. If you send him a kind note, you might get a reply. :) Yes, a new version was released today (after a long time of neglect). It fixes the critical bug that was exhibited there, so it's no longer critical that I become a co-maintainer. The author contacted me privately about it.

Hi Shlomi, The usual procedure to take over a module invovles you publicly announcing your intent in some place that most people will see, such as use.perl, and some of the admins trying to contact the author. OK, I'll keep it in mind. If, after a couple of weeks the author does not respond (or responds that he doesn't mind the transfer), we can add you as a co-maintainer. OK. However, Allen Holman has uploaded a new version today, I think he's still interested in working on the module. I can't say why he hasn't responded to you, but realize that sometimes mail gets lost. Perhaps you can try again. You might consider being a bit less aggressive, though :) That's OK. My problem was that the module had a critical issue and was not corrected to fix the problem, despite the fact that a bug and a patch (by me) were placed in the Request Tracker of the module. Today, the author uploaded a new and corrected version, which fixes the problem. That was not the case over a month ago when I first contacted [EMAIL PROTECTED] Regards, Shlomi Fish - Shlomi Fish [EMAIL PROTECTED] Homepage:http://www.shlomifish.org/ 95% of the programmers consider 95% of the code they did not write, in the bottom 5%.

Unfortunately, you're wrong. POP3 is a limited protocol that doesn't give everything that Mail-Webmail-Gmail does. Here are a few things that M-W-G can do that POP3 can't: 1. List all messages in a certain label. 2. Delete all messages in a certain label. 3. Apply a label on a large number of messages. 4. Remove a label from a large number of messages. Everything that has to do with labels cannot be done with POP3. I'm using Mail-Webmail-Gmail to purge all the messages from the label of a certain mailing list. I'm not interested in downloading all of them to my hard disk, and I'd rather not use the web UI to delete them since it can only select 100 messages at a time.

You can always upload a fork in a new name-space if you want to get something on CPAN immediately. If the author becomes responsive, they can choose to merge your fork, or simply update the docs of the first branch to recommend the branch you maintain. Mark
