]]>I think it would be worth adding a heartbeat function. Every user who maintains at least one module should get an email once per year asking them to confirm their details. (That's one per author per year, not one per author per module per year.)
If they fail to reply for five years then they should be removed from the list of maintainers of their modules. Any modules left with no maintainers should be marked as "adopt me".
That will also help people who want to be more pro-active in taking over modules. They will be able to see that the author has been uncontactable for three years or whatever when they start the official process of broadcating that they would like to take over a module.

Could change it to
my ($dbh,$sth);
'use vars'
was a way to make something global in a script before we had
'our'
if memory serves me correctly.
]]>I was wondering just yesterday what the status was of your attempt to add a mop to the Perl 5 core. The only question I have is--what's the earliest version of Perl that could possibly have it? I was thinking that 5.22 would be it, but now it seems like we may have to wait a while longer. True?
And congratulations on your new job at Booking! I hope it is fun and rewarding!
