If not you could get one of the other CPAN admins to try, or (as a last

Hi,

It looks like Carl Franks (PAUSE id CFRANKS, aka Fireartist) has become
uncontactable - I've had a couple of reports of people attempting to
contact him re HTML::FormFu related modules, and I have also tried
recently without response.

I was hoping to add Dean Hamstead (PAUSE id DJZORT) as a Co-Maint for
all the FormFu modules (basically everything I am co-maint for and
CFRANKS is owner.  This is obviously impossible without assistance from
Carl.  Dean and myself are maintaining the FormFu modules within the
github FormFu org (Carl previously transferred the github repos to this
org) - https://github.com/FormFu/
Having both of us able to release would make life less complicated.

I would like your advice as to the best way to proceed - I would prefer
that any ownership transition was managed with Carl's permission, but
since he currently appears to not be in circulation this is impossible. 
Maybe for now adding an additional co-maint and if, in the future, Carl

is still offline then we should transfer ownership?

Regards

Nigel.

Your module starts off with:

My thought on this:

I think this is ok as long it doesn’t end up sitting there for
years, unused, and blocking others.

I think if a placeholder is there for more than a year, then if
someone else wants the name, we’d have to release it.


I’d upload a module called Kollos — if you upload Kollos::Placeholder,
someone could still come along and release Kollos.
Of course, this way you’ll get first-come on Kollos, so will have to
transfer that to Jeffrey when he’s ready to release.

Fwd: PAUSE indexer report INDERPAL/OxdPerlModule-0.01.tar.gz

[Ron Savage]

Hi Inderpal

The name of your module is a bad choice. All Perl modules are ... Perl 
modules! There is no need to put the words 'Perl' or 'Module' in the 
name of a Perl module. I.e. don't ever do that - PLEASE!


Your chosen name tells us nothing about it's purpose nor the context in 
which it might be used. And when it's indexed by CPAN, how can we 
possibly search for it? I.e. How can we know what to search for, since 
we can't even guess such an odd name. And we can't search for generic 
words such as Perl or module, can we :-)?


For help with naming modules, see:

https://pause.perl.org/pause/query?ACTION=pause_namingmodules

And from the source I see you're referring to a whole set of other modules:

package OxdPerlModule;

use 5.006;
use strict;
use warnings FATAL => 'all';
use OxdPackages::OxdConfig;
use OxdPackages::OxdRegister;
use OxdPackages::UpdateRegistration;
use OxdPackages::GetAuthorizationUrl;
use OxdPackages::GetTokenByCode;
use OxdPackages::GetUserInfo;
use OxdPackages::OxdLogout;
use OxdPackages::UmaRsProtect;
use OxdPackages::UmaRpAuthorizeRpt;
use OxdPackages::UmaRpGetGat;
use OxdPackages::UmaRpGetRpt;
use OxdPackages::UmaRsCheckAccess;

They are not on CPAN, are they, so what on Earth is going on? People who 
use CPAN have an expectation that /all/ modules you upload will only use 
modules available from CPAN (or ship with Perl itself).


IOW (In Other Words) modules you /don't/ upload can use your own module 
of course, but when someone downloads your module from CPAN - say for 
automated testing - they expect it to depend exclusively on modules 
shipped with Perl or available on CPAN.


And even this text in your module is utterly uninformative :-((:

=head1 NAME

OxdPerlModule - The great new OxdPerlModule!

Here's a list of my modules:

https://metacpan.org/author/RSAVAGE

Look carefully at how the names are structured, so they form 
hierarchies, and so people can guess while searching on CPAN even if 
they don't know the exact name.


Good luck for next time

You could, say, install Perl V 5.18.4 or 5.14.4 and test under them, to

I'd say yes, if you don't have a long history of dealing with Perl 
module. But ... here are my notes on pre-req modules available:


o Pre-req (prereq) checkers:
- Module::Used, App::pmcheck, pmcheck
- Perl::PrereqScanner
- Module::Depends::Intrusive
- CPAN::FindDependencies
- App::mymeta_requires scans MYMETA.*
- Dist::Requires
- Devel::TraceUse tells which modules use which modules

ATM I use a home-grown couple of scripts which combine to use 
Perl::PrereqScanner.

Ok, sounds reasonable, although I'm hoping you can clear up a few things
I don't quite grasp...

I used module-starter to get a template, so I initially had an xt dir,
which was new to me. Is there a common wisdom as to how conveniently run
them? I.e. in the spirit of 'make test' I figured 'make xtest' would
make sense, but no go. I can't find anything else premade in the
makefile to achieve this so I'm either not looking hard enough
or...something else :-). I understand there are ways to add my own
targets in Makefile.PL so I'm assuming that is the approach I should
take but just checking so I'm not missing something obvious...maybe
there is a common wisdom for running 'xt' tests very simply?


There used to be a simple way to do this, when many of us used 
Module::Build, and hence shipped Build.PL:


perl Build.PL; ./Build; ./Build authortest

As it happens, I also shipped Makefile.PL.

But now that Module::Build is deprecated, and kicked out of core, I've 
had feedback asking me not to skip both Makefile.PL and Build.PL, so I 
zapped the latter.


The authortest incantation does not work with Makefile.PL. But there is 
an easy way, from the module's dir:


prove -lv tx/author

And normally, instead of running perl Makefile.PL; make; make test, I 
just use prove -lv t (same as prove -lvt), to test t/*.t.



Also, note that in some of the regular tests I do make use of
conditional around $ENV{RELEASE_TESTING} - I utilize SQLite to verify


Yes, I saw that.


that my query language works and gives the same results as a comparable
SQL query. That however, is not necessary for an end user, and it adds a
dependency on DBI/DBD::SQLite which isn't really needed for the module
per se so I make sure to work around that. Technically I guess such
tests could go into xt, but since I already have the entire test
infrastructure running there it makes sense to keep the code where it is
- it should be invisible in end user tests. I assume this is alright &
in the spirit of things?


Ahh, but it won't be invisible to pre-req scanners. So I suggest moving 
it to xt/author.


If you have modules used just for testing, they can go in t/lib, but 
make sure you tell Makefile.PL not to index them. I can't immediately 
give you the syntax for that..



 > o Change search.cpan.org to metacpan.org.

Admittedly, I haven't researched this...can you elaborate on why (or
point to a good resource)? Not at all opposed, it's just that I've
always used just CPAN so I'm not clear on what MetaCPAN brings to the
table.


MetaCPAN.org is much newer code, and has many features, including a API, 
so it has quite a few benefits.

Thank you, I'll take a stab at the stuff above first and then proceed.


Sounds good.

RFC on a new module 'Grep::Query'

[Ron Savage]

Hi Ken

At first, I was surprised by this proposal, since I often use App::Ack 
(https://metacpan.org/release/ack), but the examples in the docs make a 
good case for having this module too available to us.


Some Suggestions:

o Move the pod tests into xt/author, and make any modules used to test 
pod optional, so end users can install the module even if there are 
failing pod tests. Ah, I see running the tests that it requires 
AUTHOR_TESTING. Excellent, but could be a little bit better.


o Change search.cpan.org to metacpan.org.

Other than that, got for it!

My first module

[Ron Savage]

Hi Rolf

Thank you for you detailed message:
http://www.nntp.perl.org/group/perl.modules/2015/07/msg93645.html
which I won't copy here. I'll just address some of your points.

To discuss the naming of module, consider:
http://prepan.org/

On that subject, it's common to prefix scraper modules with 
WWW::Scraper::*. Search MetaCPAN and you'll see many of them, 2 of them 
being mine.


Now, more on your questions:

1) One or two modules?

::Scraper::Digitalarkivet with sub-modules starting with 
WWW::Scraper::Digitalarkivet::Database would be my recommendation.


2) Should it be a module at all?

Of course!

Users might wish to sub-class your main module and use your database 
module. And they could subclass the latter, too.


I strongly recommend you base each module on Moo and Types::Standard, 
despite the fact you are at risk of getting far too many conflicting 
suggestions on this topic.


You could also release App::Digitalarkivet containing your 
now-much-simplified script, if you wish. But why, when the main module 
can ship with a bin/a.script.pl?


3) Namespace

See above.

Remember: You need to consider this topic from the point of view of 
someone searching CPAN for code relevant to their needs. Any name which 
is cryptic, as in the DA you mention, is meaningless to every single 
person except yourself. So, please don't use it.


3) Best practice for POD?

You mean (4), right :-)?

I put all my POD at the end. And in scripts/ I often ship a pod2html.sh, 
plus scripts to create all table, drop all tables, populate constant 
tables. You get the idea. See any db-using module, such as 
https://metacpan.org/release/App-Office-Contacts. Download it and check 
the scripts/ dir for ideas.


Note: In the past, I used to use the very sophisticated DBIx::Class, but 
have decided that for my work it's too complex, so now I use 
DBIx::Simple. You should too. Whatever you do, don't reinvent the wheel, 
and that applies to both your db-interface and your web-scraping code. 
And /that's/ why I'm recommending you release your code as a set of modules.


4) To CPAN or not to - Licence

The 'Creative Commons' people don't recommend their works for software, 
as I understand it. I always use the Artistic Licence (aka License for 
you non-Australians).


Lastly, please also put the code on github. I'm here:
https://github.com/ronsavage?tab=repositories

That way, others can fork you code and push patches, which you can then 
adopt or reject.


You'll still release the code to CPAN, of course. Github is for interacting.


Good luck!

Most likely it'll end up under something like App::Unifdev, and the

Hi Steffen

I see Date::Calc needs some TLC. I've never done XS programming, but I
can fix a few other outstanding issues, if you give me co-maint.

This has become urgent since tests started failing on Jan 1st.

Or, if you can't log on to PAUSE, just reply (all) and I'll do it myself.

I've also seen a lot of other emails relating to errors in the test
suite of Date::Calc since 01/01/2015 and fixes regarding the definition
of "true" and "false" values in ToolBox.h.

However, unfortunately my wife is ill at the moment and I don't have the
time to fix these problems.
On top of that I cannot currently send emails from my other email
account s...@engelschall.com <mailto:s...@engelschall.com>, I get an error
message.

It would be great if someone (Andreas?) could make my email address
st...@cpan.org <mailto:st...@cpan.org> point to ost...@gmail.com
<mailto:ost...@gmail.com> instead of to s...@engelschall.com
<mailto:s...@engelschall.com>. Permanently, not just temporarily, since I
almost don't use the latter email address anymore.

Thank you very much for your comprehension and efforts!!

Fwd: Perl CPAN distribution 'Text-Balanced'

[Ron Savage]

Hi Steve

I considered adopting Text::Balanced recently, but after looking at it, 
wrote Text::Balanced::Marpa as a replacement, since I didn't think it 
was worth spending any time on.


Let me know if you think my module, or its companion 
Text::Delimited::Marpa, do not meet your requirements, and I'll give you 
co-maint.

doubt from a starter

[Ron Savage]

Hi

I assume you're asking about copyright issues.

If the web pages which will be scraped have no copyright statement, then 
there is no issue.


Some web sites use (c) or (C) as a attempt at a fake copyright symbol, 
but (warning: IANAL) under Australian law that is not a copyright 
symbol, because the parentheses do not form a circle around the letter. 
© is a copyright symbol (if you email client displays it the same way I 
see it).


If there is a copyright symbol, then western law still allows copying 
for various purposes (e.g. research, quoting, etc).


But these are all issues for people who use your code. Just because you 
are the author of the code does not mean you are responsible if other 
people misuse the code. This is the same issue as with photocopiers - 
the manufacturers of such equipment are not responsible for what people 
choose to copy, are they?


And of course there are already many modules on CPAN which perform web 
scraping. You can type WWW::Scraper into MetaCPAN.org and see many 
listed there, so obviously a lot of authors publish code without being 
too worried about how is is being used. Yes, they might be worried, but 
they are not too worried.

It looks like you hit the mark. I had already uploaded 0.06, so I went

I'll let the dust settle for a bit (and let the testers chew on it)
before I do any more.

Thanks for the info. I see now that LZAP idles on freenode, though I
don't know where. I'll try to catch him active and see if we can work it
out from there.

Otherwise, I don't have a problem with taking over UUID. It's pretty
small to start with, and I don't have any spectacular plans. I just
don't want to see it disappear because it's exactly what I need most of
the time. (Minus the one tiny bit I want to add.)

Do you actually wish to become the primary maintainer of UUID? As
long as you're clear in your mind about that, one of us PAUSE admins
can given you that power.

Of course at any time you can reassign it to ADOPTME if you wish to
stop work on the module.

And at any time we can let others become co-maint.

BTW: clone is not a CPAN command (AFAIK). He just meant d/l the code

Also, did you compare the CPAN version with the github version? I
think that would be a good idea.

Suspect CPAN release

[Ron Savage]

Hi Joel

Yeah, I'm a bit uneasy about it too, but I assume the author has given 
his real name, so at least it's not anonymous.


I replied to him and the list re the structure of the name (e.g. rather 
use Mail::Cracker::GMail, since he's used a top-level name), but did not 
mention the morality of the topic.


As for password (strength) testing, someone may use it for nefarious 
purposes, or for good purposes. Hard to tell.

Module submission GmailCracker

[Ron Savage]

Hi Anthony

I think the name you've chosen for your module, GmailCracker, is

Easy to find, and encouraging others to use names in the same style. 
E.g. Mail::Cracker::XYZMail.

So GOOGLE-ADWORDS-PERL-CLIENT-2.17.0
