What not to do on a friday afternoon ...

Last friday, Autrijus finally managed to upload Locale::Maketext::Simple. This module is mostly inspired by it's usage in CPANPLUS and can provide a framework for localization, without requiring the user to support it.
Trust me, this is very useful :)

At any rate, I just released a whole bunch of modules that are pretty much abstracted out of CPANPLUS, so they all require the L10N support.
Oddly enough, I found I wanted to start using these modules in other projects as well :)

So, friday afternoon I uploaded around 8 distributions to CPAN at once. And I was obviously not prepared for the amount of mail this generates...
In no particular order:

• Pause confirmation mail
• Pause indexer mail
• testers mail
• Lots of reports on IRC via Fox's very cool CPAN::Bot module
• User emails with feature requests and so on

In short, I got a bit overwhelmed, since this totaled about 60-70 emails.

On the up side, some of these emails inspired me to tweak the modules and release new versions. Also they inspired me to write better filters for Mail.app ;)
