in thread Fixing broken CPAN modules without author cooperation

open source advocate
Open source is about giving, and accepting what you get. It isn't about taking or demanding.

If an author of a module doesn't reply to you in a time frame that's acceptable to you, too bad for you. (Sh/H)e donated to original code, and not someone else. I think it nothing to be decency to accept the gift as is, and, if I think I can do it better I can publish something else (if I'm lucky, the license allows me to reuse code).

S'funny, till now I had you down
I don't give a rats ass what you think of me.
