Hi Petr Thanx. I've uploaded V 1.12 to CPAN. BTW: You probably know but - at least in Australia - all the copyright notices in this distro, and almost all other distros, and not legally binding. A binding one has to use ©. Even usage of (C) is not binding. Again, thanx. On 13/11/18 00:54, Petr Pisar via RT wrote: Show quoted text

I did not know that. E.g. in my country (the Czech Republic) the copyright line with the © is completely optional and not required in order to posses a legal binding for the license declaration. This how the Berne Convention works. However, if you need the copyright line, you can keep it there. I think following wording would work for everybody. Also note that you can use Unicode characters in the POD text if you declare the encoding with =encoding keyword: =encoding utf8 =head1 COPYRIGHT AND LICENSE Australian copyright © 2018, Ron Savage.

Hi Petr Good point re unicode chars. I considered it briefly but felt it was not necessary since the module was only adopted by me. If I'd authored it I would do things differently. And the requestor of my code patch is unhappy about the inheritance structure of the result, so another version is coming soon :-). On 13/11/18 20:50, Petr Pisar via RT wrote: Show quoted text
