Latest (important) CPAN Uploads

Lately I've been reuploading my CPAN modules. This has primarily been to convert them to Module::Build (though they still have makefiles) and add POD tests.

• Data::Dumper::Name. Like Data::Dumper::Simple but without a source filter. We'll see which one turns out to be more robust :)
• CGI::Safe. This module is almost forgotten.
• Data::XML::Variant. Some people are really bothered that I wrote that despite the need for it.
• aliased. Applied a patch from Schwern which allows one to alias namespaces to a scalar.

I've noticed I have a lot of modules in the Data:: namespace. I don't know if that's because I want to offer more general-purpose modules for data munging or if I'm not clever enough with names.

Oh please

We all know that you're doing it to improve your CPANTS score. :-)

Well, er, yeah :)

Incidentally, I've also uploaded the Sub::Signatures 0.20. Should be on the CPAN soon. I eliminated the type checking. I think it actually improves the module.
