I released version 1.16.0 of Rex, the friendly automation framework on #CPAN.
This minor release now requires at least perl-5.14.4 to install, contains new features to run local commands on Windows, and fixes bugs around git repository branch handling.
Warm welcome to our new contributor, @gregoa_!
Special thanks to Ctrl O Ltd for sponsoring Rex maintenance!

So then... I found a bug in a #CPAN module.
Time to find out how to fill a PR for it. Seems that the autjor does not keep it on GitHub 
Module::Runtime (dependency of some module) installation has not happened as it is currently stuck on <https://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=158669>.
For background, see Addressing CPAN vulnerabilities related to checksums <https://blogs.perl.org/users/neilb/2021/11/addressing-cpan-vulnerabilities-related-to-checksums.html> (archived: <https://web.archive.org/web/20240723034457/https://blogs.perl.org/users/neilb/2021/11/addressing-cpan-vulnerabilities-related-to-checksums.html>), 202111, and the comments.
(Removed: References to Math::GMP, & gmp, as I started doubting the dependency chain due to not having access to the installation log currently.)
After having blogged about a bug (and its fix) in Algorithm::CurveFit, as well as giving a talk about it at the 2024 London #Perl and Raku Workshop, I’ve finally gotten around to building and releasing the fix to #CPAN. Version 1.06 is now available. Yay!

#Perl #CPAN
Früher (TM) habe ich u.a. auch diverse Perlmodule veröffentlicht. Ein paar davon sind immer noch hier und da im Einsatz, Config::General ist so eins. Heute habe ich nach vielen Jahren mal wieder eine neue Version veröffentlicht, in der ein Quoting-Fehler behoben wurde. Ich habe ausserdem mal eine CI -Pipeline zur Ausführung der Unittests erstellt.
Back in 2004 (yes, 2004, that's not a typo) I asked if support for the `lchown()` system call could be added to POSIX.pm, which is part of the #perl 5 core, so that I could use it in #rsnapshot and users wouldn't have to install the third-party Lchown.pm off the #CPAN. "Yes", people said, and it was.
20 years later I have finally created a PR to use the feature I asked for.
Do I win a prize for being the slowest programmer ever?

Wasn’t #CPAN supposed to stop its email service?
I am still getting spam to my @cpan.org address 
El 26 de octubre de 1995 se presenta el CPAN, una colección de 25 mil recursos y distribuciones de software basados en Perl, que pueden ser buscados, accesados y usados a través de una interfase web. Útiles en las primeras versiones de internet público

Happy new year, #CPAN!
The Comprehensive #Perl Archive Network, CPAN, has been online publicly since 1995-10-26. By now it hosts over 250,000 modules in 40,000+ distributions by 6,700+ authors.
I publish solutions there since 2014, and I intend to continue for at least another decade.
Join the occasion by registering your account, upload your first module, or release a new version of your existing distribution!
How do you celebrate this year?
@Mumonkan @nxadm Hah! "Mongers" is something anyone can be. The only "requirement" is that one cares about the part of the #OpenSource world that involves #Perl and #CPAN and related. 
Happy to hang out! I'm arriving Friday \o/
