Yes, but I'd like to fork since I don't want to offend Andre. And actually, I don't plan to upload to CPAN because it's enough work to keep up with Debian bug reports ;) > (Also, keep in mind that upstream probably stopped answering your email > because he's not that interested in the module anymore). That is possible, but I don't think so judging from the mail exchange I had with Andre in the beginning of this year. Additionally, I don't think that Net::GrpNetworks is a good name for that module. What do you think about Net::IPNetMember? Greetings Marc -- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Marc Haber | "I don't trust Computers.
