Hello,
I am in contact with Hoff about submitting a few entries for the upcoming
freeware CD. While discussing the feasability of getting some Perl Modules
on it, we finally came to the conclusion that it would be best to have a
full Perl Build on the CD. Given the fact that the deadline for submissions
is looming I tend to do a 5.8.0 build with a number of integrated modules.
This opens two questions I hope you can help me with:
1.) The list of modules I work with can be found at
http://zinser.no-ip.info:8080/www/vms/sw/perl_mod.htmlx
Are there any essentials/must-haves/really cool ones missing that
I still should try to get up and running?
2.) hp requires someone to sign a release form for each piece of software
on the CD (check http://www.hp.com/go/openvms/freeware/ for details).
Now I might be preparing the kit for the CD, but I am certainly not
one of the VMS Perl core developers. So, there are a number of possibilites
- I still sign the form, but qualify myself as something along the
lines of "Member of the VMS Perl community"
- A more appropriate person (Craig, Peter, ???) volunteers to either
sign the form alone or co-signs with me.
- The general consensus is the document should not be signed by me and
nobody else wants to do it either, i.e. drop Perl from the CD.
Personally I would prefer the second one (and maybe even slightly the
variant without me signing, I'd do the work anyhow).
Greetings, Martin
