Shana Tova - New Year's resolution

Every January people decide on their New Year's Resolution on how they are going to change.

As I live in Israel I have an excuse to do it twice. Once in January with all the other people and once on the Jewish New Year. As it was just a couple of weeks ago I think this might be the right time to both wish you Shana Tova to all of you and make some changes.

Finding a better home for some CPAN modules

The big issue is that John McNamara has agreed to take over maintainership of [dist://Spreadsheet::ParseExcel]. This is excellent news as the module is a very important one for many people and John as the author of [dist://Spreadsheet::WriteExcel] is very capable to maintain this module as well.

The other big issue is that Sébastien Aperghis-Tramoni agreed to take over [dist://Net::RawIP] that provides data capturing and package creation for the network layer. As he is already maintaining [dist://Net::Pcap] that provides the same capturing functionality just better he will probably simplify Net::RawIP by remove the capturing part and make the package creation part better.
