 Thanks for the information.  It turns out some Win32 systems don't
 have it at all, so I have to avoid it.
 
 Instead, I'm doing:
 
 use Fcntl 'O_RDONLY', 'O_RDWR', 'O_WRONLY';
 sub O_ACCMODE () { O_RDONLY | O_WRONLY | O_RDWR }
 
 which I think should work everywhere that defines O_((RD|WR)ONLY|RDWR),
 whatever their values.

Maybe Fcntl should be patched to provide that if O_ACCMODE is not defined

 Moin,
 
 I Cc:ed [EMAIL PROTECTED], they are the ones ;) to decide this, if the
 authors are not responding.
 
 Although I wouldn't count on beeing lucky, since I am trying to
 patch/takeover/maintain Math::Fraction for almost two years. The authors
 address is dead, and multiply requests/efforts all resulting in lets wait
 a few months mores ;)

If it has really been that long then I would agree that we change it.

 On 02-Mar-02 Adrian Phillips tried to scribble about:
  
  On the Amavis mailing list (www.amavis.org) it has been mentioned
  several times that Archive::Tar and Archive::Zip are unmaintained, the
  current amavis author has tried to send patches for both packages in
  the past few months without any success; apparently there was supposed
  to be a new version of Archive::Zip released a logn while ago.

While Archive::Tar is registered to Calle Dybedahl who uploaded v0.02
back in 1997 Stephen Zander has uploaded a 0.22 release (although that
was back on 2000) Have you spoken with Stephen ?


Graham.

  
  Now, I would just like to say that I am not criticising the current
  maintainers/authors if they have been unable to find the time to
  release newer versions. I am well aware of the amount of effort
  required to keep packages going especially with other projects and
  real life.
  
  What I would like to ask is :-
  
  - what is the current maintainership state of these 2 modules ?
  
  - if the current maintainers still have big problems would they allow
the packages to be taken over by someone else ?
  
  - I am willing to do so if they wish, although I do not have any
existing CPAN modules and will have to go through registering with
PAUSE (as well as reading the PAUSE docs).
  
  Sincerely,
  
  Adrian Phillips

  I can understand this.  We should be patching the CPAN libnet.

   So if a test depends on a module in the core it should check that
   the module is avaliable, so that the test is skipped with older
   perl releases.
  But this is a little funny.  How are these new tests going to wind up
  on old perl and libnet versions?
 
 I understood that as Graham being unsure about using Test::More in the tests.

Actually I was refering to Mock::Socket
