Subject: Version number of Mail::POP3Client contains trailing space
Hi, thanks for your module! I noticed there have not been new versions since a couple of years, I wonder if you're still out there and interested in this module; I know I do. The version number of Mail::POP3Client contains a trailing space. This makes for instance ExtUtils::MakeMaker render warnings such as: Version string '2.18 ' contains invalid data; ignoring: ' ' The fix is very trivial, it is to change this line in POP3Client.pm from $VERSION = substr q$Revision: 2.18 $, 10; to $VERSION = substr q$Revision: 2.18 $, 10, -1; that last '-1' will remove the last character from the string. -- Mike
I would be happy to make a patch or do a release or whatever to get this resolved. Could you let me know how we can move forward? -- rjbs

Yeah! Sean, if you're listening: this is your only module in CPAN and it had no release in 5 years. If you'd be willing to do a new release, that'd be great. Otherwise I'd be interested to take over maintenance. If you're no longer interested in maintaining the module, please contact me via my CPAN mail address. -- Mike
