cpan you have to see

[Alexej Magura]

As for my rt replies, what did you expect I was gonna say: 'Oh, my bad I
wrote the worst module in the world and you're the king of all; here let me
just remove it real quick.'?  Think again.

*When I call `true()` I get `undef` back (or empty list in list context).
It should return `"i should stop uploading useless modules"` instead.*
Is not a valid bug ticket, and it is not remotely funny.  Imagine how all
of you would feel if you had just signed up for Cpan because you thought it
would be neat to be helpful and contribute something to the perl community
only to have the entire community turn on you.  So much for "There's more
than one way to do it." (Perl's motto) More like "If you don't get it right
the first time, never try again."

Since I joined Cpan, I've only received one bug ticket that was actually
helpful, and I've received four total, to my knowledge.
