XML::RSS
I noticed that at the moment, XML-RSS has over 30 open bugs. So trying to help with this important module, I started to write patches for it.
At first I imported the files into the web-cpan repository , and patched it there. Then I wrote a few patches by working on the working copy of a checkout from the svn.perl.org repository, but that turned out not to scale too well. Eventually I decided to use svk instead, and wrote two patches using it.
I kept some notes in a text file about my progress. Here they are:
