That's great.  I hardly know who's out there using the program.  It's nice
to see people are using it.

I'd be willing to take a look at it.  This was actually something I was
considering doing but ultimately decided against it.  I didn't even start to
write it.

That's awesome to hear!  This is the kind of thing that keeps a coder
working on his/her projects. :)  Thank you!

> Are you looking for a maintainer during your extended leave?

Actually, I was very seriously considering it.  Are you offering? :)  I
really haven't made my decision on this subject yet though.

This is something that is on my TODO list.  Another thing I'd like to add is
a reconnect option upon initial connection.  One other thing that drives me
nuts about cssh is that the protocol 1 stuff is a little buggy I think.
This might be a bug in Net::SSH::Perl but I haven't looked into it heavily
enough yet to make a proper determination.

Yeah, I have a big list of things I'd like to do.  I will end up rewriting
it eventually.  I will be doing more modularization along with a better
installation method (ie an actual perl Makefile.pl).  There are some things
I don't have experience in in terms of the how to do some of the things I
want to do so there will be a small learning curve.  But that is what makes
these kinds of projects fun, you know? :)
