When the module's author asked me for help I marked his email as important, and then Christmas happened and it got lost in my mailbox. Anyway, diagnosis: one of the dependencies was buggy, and has already been fixed so the author should just update the dependency version.

  5. I am performing a Scientific Experiment to see if I can set fire to a CPU by building ALL THE THINGS on it AT THE SAME TIME. Gonna bung a and a environment on it. If you are a software dev who wants to do portability testing email me and maybe I'll give you an account on it. People who I have drunk beer with get priority, of course. Or you could get your own here labs.scaleway.com/en/em-rv1/

  7. @sjn @Shadowcat_MDK @barbie @Perl Is there anything we can do to help fund and support #CPANTesters?

    Is iheart.cpantesters.org still an accurate description of current sponsors? Maybe we can tap some of them to step up a little?

  8. Enlightened Perl Organization is closing down.

    The EPO was created in 2008, and has had a number of projects shaping the #Perl community in significant, meaningful and positive ways:

    - The Send A Newbie Initiative, which was instrumental in helping several awesome people into the community.
    - #CPANTesters
    - Several conferences
    - And supporting other efforts like MetaCPAN, Task::Kensho and more.

    It's been a good run!

  10. @reyjrar Gabor Szabo has been evangelizing continuous integration (#CI) for CPAN authors so they can get faster feedback during development rather than waiting for #CPANTesters to pick up a release. perlmaven.com/ci

    It looks like you're on #GitHub so you can set it up with GitHub Actions integrated in your repo.
