Re: Perl module packages looking for a new home

[Ardo van Rangelrooij <ardo@debian.org>]

Hi,

Late last February I asked the Debian Perl Group to take over some of the Perl
modules I maintain.  The group agreed, but sofar only the modules that are also
provided by the perl-modules package have been taken care of.

So, hereby a reminder to take over the other packages also.

Thanks,
Ardo
