CPAN Game: 100+ days of daily CPAN upload
Yes, I am back again with another blog. I just need a reason to write about. This time, I am going to talk about one of the most fun game I am involved with for long time. In short, this game requires you to upload one distribution to CPAN every day. It sounds simple but it is far from simple.

All-time Chains

If you don't know the history of the game, let me give you little introduction, I was first introduced to the game by one of the blog by Neil Bowers. I got addicted to it from day one. Few months later, Barbie blogged once he completed one year of CPAN uploads. It worked like a catalyst to my already addiction.
It was difficult game but I carried on till I reached the 1027 days of daily CPAN upload and chain was broken. Lets not get into the details how and why. However I didn't stop and started the game the very next day. This time around, I was going smooth without any resistance but then the chain broke again at the end of 621 days of daily CPAN upload. You would think, I will stop now. No, I started again the next day, today I just completed 101 days of CPAN upload.
I am hoping to breach my own record of 1027 days one day.
Wish me luck.
