CC: Perl Porters <perl5-porters [...] perl.org>
Subject: Per4-CoreLibs reintroduces chat2.pl and ftp.pl
Date: Wed, 7 Apr 2010 12:18:28 -0400 (EDT)
To: bug-Perl4-CoreLibs [...] rt.cpan.org..zprd.lafayette.edu
From: Andy Dougherty <doughera [...] lafayette.edu>
Perl4-CoreLibs reintroduces two perl4-era libraries deliberately removed from perl5 years ago, namely chat2.pl and ftp.pl. Especially in the case of chat2.pl, I explicitly remember that this was at the request of the author. I think re-distributing it is not a good choice. And I continue to not see the maintenance savings here. -- Andy Dougherty doughera@lafayette.edu

Yes, I went with favouring inclusiveness, to help the maximum possible amount of legacy code with upgrading. I did note that these two are not in the current core distro, but failed to find the rationale for their removal, so they're in by default. -zefram

Sigh. I completely fail to understand why you would choose to distribute code against the wishes of the author. Given such a fundamental disconnect, I can't imagine any productive way forward, so I will not pursue this any further. -- Andy Dougherty doughera@lafayette.edu
