• Posted What do I use to release a module to CPAN for the first time? to Lady Aleena

  Several months ago I read a tutorial on module creation. It got me thinking about releasing some of my modules. I got to work getting my code organized. At the time I had all of my work in…

  In my last post, a meta issue for modules: bug tracking, I had noticed a problem with the bug tracking link for a module and discussed that problem. In the comments, one person said he preferred

  Toby, On GitHub, go to Settings. Scroll down the Options page until you see Features. Under Features, uncheck Issues. Then no one will bother you with Issues on GitHub if that is what you really want. LA...
• Posted A meta issue for modules: bug tracking to Lady Aleena

  I was reading a module on meta::cpan when I spied a small issue. I went up to the Issues link, clicked, and was sent to rt.cpan. I know that many module authors now have their modules on sites like
