Hey all -- I was working on my "Chris is lazy and would rather have a script tell him that he needs to update his extras perl packages than read the daily cpan update email" script, and thought this interim list might be useful to others. It's a list of packages in extras development matching /^perl-/, compared to the latest released distributions in CPAN. Extras package version is determined by looking at the version of the spec file in the cvs devel branch of the package; owners information is determined by looking at owners.list. It's not perfect -- clearly <grin> -- but this is posted in the hopes others may find the information useful. For my own packages, I suspect I'll end up rigging an xmlrpc connection to bugzilla and having the script file bugs against the package needing an update. andreas@xxxxxxxxx * Crypt-CBC -- extras: 2.17 / cpan: 2.18 chris@xxxxxxxxxxxxx * Time-Piece -- extras: 1.08 / cpan: 1.09 cweyl@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx * Object-InsideOut -- extras: 1.45 / cpan: 1.47 dgregor@xxxxxxxxxx * Config-Record -- extras: 1.1.0 / cpan: 1.1.1 garrick@xxxxxxx * Curses -- extras: 1.13 / cpan: 1.14 gauret@xxxxxxx * Jcode -- extras: 2.03 / cpan: 2.06 * Unicode-MapUTF8 -- extras: 1.09 / cpan: 1.11 ghenry@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx * Apache-LogRegex -- extras: 1.2 / cpan: 1.3 * Imager -- extras: 0.50 / cpan: 0.53 ianburrell@xxxxxxxxx * Data-Hierarchy -- extras: 0.22 / cpan: 0.30 imlinux@xxxxxxxxx * File-RsyncP -- extras: 0.62 / cpan: 0.64 jpo@xxxxxxxxxxxx * Devel-Cover -- extras: 0.55 / cpan: 0.56 * Error -- extras: 0.17 / cpan: 0.17001 * GSSAPI -- extras: 0.22 / cpan: 0.23 * IO-Socket-SSL -- extras: 0.97 / cpan: 0.997 * Module-CoreList -- extras: 2.05 / cpan: 2.06 mpeters@xxxxxxx * File-BOM -- extras: 0.11 / cpan: 0.12 notting@xxxxxxxxxx * Finance-Quote -- extras: 1.11 / cpan: 1.12 * HTML-TableExtract -- extras: 2.07 / cpan: 2.10 oliver@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx * Unix-Statgrab -- extras: 0.03 / cpan: 0.04 paul@xxxxxxxxxxxx * String-CRC32 -- extras: 1.3 / cpan: 1.4 rc040203@xxxxxxxxxx * Locale-Maketext-Lexicon -- extras: 0.60 / cpan: 0.62 * prefork -- extras: 1.00 / cpan: 1.01 steve@xxxxxxxxx * Algorithm-Diff -- extras: 1.1901 / cpan: 1.1902 * Archive-Extract -- extras: 0.08 / cpan: 0.11 * File-Fetch -- extras: 0.07 / cpan: 0.08 * Module-Build -- extras: 0.2804 / cpan: 0.2805 * Module-Load-Conditional -- extras: 0.08 / cpan: 0.10 * Unix-Syslog -- extras: 0.100 / cpan: 0.99 tcallawa@xxxxxxxxxx * Apache-Session-Wrapper -- extras: 0.29 / cpan: 0.31 * Class-Accessor -- extras: 0.25 / cpan: 0.27 * Class-DBI -- extras: 3.0.14 / cpan: v3.0.14 * Image-ExifTool -- extras: 6.26 / cpan: 6.29 * Maypole -- extras: 2.10 / cpan: 2.11_pre5 * Spreadsheet-WriteExcel -- extras: 2.17 / cpan: WebPivot2 * version -- extras: 0.64 / cpan: 0.662 ville.skytta@xxxxxx * Module-Signature -- extras: 0.54 / cpan: 0.55 * Net-IP -- extras: 1.24 / cpan: 1.25 zing@xxxxxxxxxxx * XML-LibXSLT -- extras: 1.58 / cpan: 1.59 -- Chris Weyl Ex astris, scientia
