| Leopard's tar is broken |

I've just upgraded my MBP to Leopard. Apple's version of tar has the
annoying habit of generating extra files to represent Mac specific
attributes. That's particularly annoying for CPAN authors because they
tend to break your test suite and you can't easily see them without
unpacking the archive on a non-Mac system. Grrr.
It used to be possible to disable this behaviour by setting the env var
COPY_EXTENDED_ATTRIBUTES_DISABLE to some true value - but this seems to
have stopped working in Leopard. As a result I've just released a broken
version of [0]Captcha::reCAPTCHA. Double Grrr.
strings /usr/bin/tar fails to reveal anything promising, /usr/bin/gnutar
is just a hard link to /usr/bin/tar and I can't get the MacPorts gnutar
to build so for now I've restored a copy of Tiger's tar from a backup and
dumped it in ~/bin (which I have on my path). Phew.
Watch out Mac-based module authors - it's hard to detect that you have a
broken archive without testing it on a non-Mac machine.

The [0]Windy City Hackathon is Dec. 14-16 in downtown Chicago.
I've reserved and paid for 12 beds at the [1]J.Ira & Nicki Harris Family
Hostel, the Windy City Hackathon location. The hackation is free, but you
if you want to stay onsite, you need to pay for your room soon to get one
of the slots. It's a total of $115 for Thursday night through Sunday
morning in hostel-style rooms. If you wait and have to get a hotel room,
you'll pay more for that for just one night and still spend most of your
time at the hostel. [2]Pay for your room with a credit card through The
Perl Review, or ask me about other ways to pay.

I've finally opened the [0]Call For Participation for the [1]Open Source
Symposium taking place April 25-26, 2008. If anyone would like to submit
a talk, please do so. I really hope to have Perl properly represented.

| CPAN Testers Stats - October Update - Testers New & Old |

[0]CPAN Testers Statistics
After successfully mapping 54 addresses from September up to mid-October,
I sent out the six-month request to all outstanding addresses used so far
this year. After only a short time I'd already received several emails
from testers updating their details for me, mapping a further 14
addresses. It is notable that several new and current testers are now
putting their names, or a least some form of reference in their
addresses, that makes it very easy for my scripts to reference them, so
thanks very much for that.
