Just in case you like to know, I'm currently full-time father of 2 kids, half-time Perl hacker, sort-of DJ, bicyclist, no longer dreadlocked and more than 34 years old but too lazy to update my profile once a year.
I'm also head of Vienna.pm, maintainer of the CPANTS project, member of the TPF Grants Commitee and the YAPC Europe Foundation.
I've got stuff on CPAN, held various talks and organise the Austrian Perl Workshops and YAPC::Europe 2007.
You can find my Perl-related blog on blogs.perl.org.

I wrote "Module::ExtractUse":https://metacpan.org/module/Module::ExtractUse ages ago as a component of CPANTS. As you might guess from the name, it extracts @use@ statements. CPANTS uses it to calculate prereqs statically (i.e. without actually running the code). It's implemented as a ...

We all love "Devel::Cover":https://metacpan.org/module/Devel::Cover, the wonderful code coverage tool by Paul Johnson. But as you might have experienced, generating coverage reports for a big test suite can take quite a time (about an hour in the case of our current project). And each new run overwrites the previous one, which (besides being a big
