Anyone want to adopt Getopt::Auto?
I took over this module from Simon Cozens nearly 5 years ago when he gave away his modules, but never got around to any of my ideas for it. What was I thinking? In hindsight, I don’t get around to my own ideas for comparable lengths of time; I should never have applied for it.
I did start a refactor at some point that’s still sitting in my projects directory, but in all honesty I didn’t get very far before losing steam. I even delayed writing this note, thinking I’d get around to making my changes available, but they’re insubstantial and unfinished and it really doesn’t matter any more. There’s a patch in the RT queue that’s been sitting there for years. I didn’t think the patch too great, but it would have been better to apply it and release than leave it in limbo waiting for a reformulation that I’d never get around to.
It is time to admit defeat. I’ve been a bad steward.
Is there anyone reading this who cares about the module? Want to take it over?

If you want to get a feel first, go right ahead, the source is on CPAN. Actually… scratch that, I’ve just pushed my stuff to GitHub [github.com]. Anyway, if you want to take a look first, check that out.
It’s not very magical on the implementation end of things, actually.
Let me know if you want to pick it up.
