Looking for Crypt-OpenSSL-RSA author

I tried to contact the Crypt-OpenSSL-RSA author recently. The module was using "expecting undocumented behaviour that DynaLoader ISA AutoLoader"

His name is Ian Robertson (IROBERTS). I've attempted to contact him via his cpan address, as well as iroberts+perl@red-bean.com I've gotten no response. If anyone knows how to contact him, I'd like to help fix some of the bugs in this module.

Looking for CDB_File author

I tried to contact the CDB_File author last week. There's a bug in the module which I'd like addressed. The C code is not C99 compliant, which means it won't compile on some machines.

His name is Matt Sergeant (MSERGEANT). I've attempted to contact him via his cpan address, as well as his http://sergeant.org/ address. No love so far. There's a co-maint on this module, but his emails are bouncing. If anyone knows how to contact Matt, I'd like to help fix some of the bugs in this module, Many of the patches are already in RT but unresolved for the past 3 years.

Make your desktop background a live world shot

cron this to run every 30 or 60 minutes and you have a world image updated with sun position and weather.


#!/usr/bin/env perl

use LWP::Simple;

my %image_hash = ( 'world_sunlight.jpg' => 'http://www.opentopia.com/images/cams/world_sunlight_map_rectangular.jpg',
# 'world_weather.gif' => "http://images.intellicast.com/WeatherImg/Satellite/world.gif"
);

foreach my $file (keys %image_hash) {
getstore($image_hash{$file}, $file);
}


Hopefully we don't kill the server that produces these shots.

I tried to contact the Crypt::RIPEMD160 author today, as well as a bunch of people listed in the README, etc. 5 of the 8 emails bounced immediately. There's a 64bit bug in the module that is causing issues with Crypt::OpenPGP.

Their name is Christian H. Geuer-Pollmann or CHGEUER in pause. If anyone knows how to contact them, I'd like to help fix some of the bugs in this module
