How to wankishly irritate module authors ...
Note to all readers: when people send me bug reports I generally respond quite quickly. If the report is accurate, I've been known to release new versions of modules to CPAN in under an hour, I kid you not.
However, posting sort-of bug reports (sans code, sans "here's the error or bad output I got") in a whiny journal entry is remarkably ineffective at getting things fixed.

It is not without any fault of yours. It is a 0.x module, the author is still busy rearranging things so that the 1.0 has a correct API that gives correct output. It is your burden to watch out for changes and adjust your code if you wish to use these preliminary releases.
