[Philadelphia-pm] CPAN Day at the Standard Tap August 14, 6:00 PM

[Brian]

Thanks for setting this up, John.  I have a module I'd like to put on CPAN
that is a refactoring of a 10-year old bioinformatics program written in
Perl <http://genes.mit.edu/burgelab/maxent/Xmaxentscan_scoreseq_acc.html>.
I'll contact the program's original authors and ask permission to make the
module available on the CPAN.  The program's original copyright and license
<http://genes.mit.edu/burgelab/maxent/download/READTHIS> did not specify
terms of redistribution and/or modification.

I'd appreciate advice and help with this process as it would be my first
CPAN module.  Will trade beer for sagacity and insight - free as in beer
AND free as in freedom.  If anybody has experience contributing to the BioPerl
module hierarchy on CPAN
<http://search.cpan.org/search?query=Bio%3A%3A*&mode=all> also this will be
useful.

Thanks!
Brian Cole
