Just to see how it goes, I've decided to apply for a PAUSE account.

I have a utility that I've been sitting on for a long time called OS390::IEBUtils that should reallly be published. It allows a perl environment to unpack PDS members that were concatenated by IEBPTPCH, and it also allows the same environment to build an IEBUPDTE stream from a directory full of files.

This is probably one of those cases where it's not the utility that's so valuable, it's the experience from publishing it, building a tight test suite, accepting patches & suggestions, etc.

Update: Wow, got an approval very quickly. The PAUSE FAQ indicates that they shoot for a week. I got my moderation response in about 20 mins. Now I know what I'll be doing this AM.

Update: Cool. Looks like everything got updated, and it's listed properly on CPAN. Here's a first look at OS390::IEBUtils.
