Oh, yes.

&gt; Want someone else to sort this out for you ?

Yes.

&gt; Milton Keynes PM  want to start working together to contribute to the Perl
&gt; development effort and as we need to do something that beginners and
experts
&gt; can both work on, we thought that improving the testing coverage of
popular
&gt; CPAN Modules would be a good initial project.
&gt;
&gt; So, we are looking for popular CPAN modules which could do with a better
&gt; test suite and the Author is willing to let others work in it on their
&gt; behalf.

Log::Dispatch might be a possibility. The tests are old and crufty, and 
probably don't cover lots of corner cases and features. I'd be happy to 
see the test suite refactored a bit into multiple files. It could also use 
better mocking so we could test things like syslog and email.
