Christian, I'm really sorry to see you leaving. I'd like to extend
my thanks (and I'm sure, the thanks of everyone else on the list) for
starting PerlUnit in the first place and carrying things this far. I'm
happy working on the code as it stands, but if I were starting this
from scratch as you were I think I'd be paralyzed.

Thanks for the vote of confidence. Whilst I'm happy to take the job
on, my current main interest is my Perl Refactoring Engine
(http://sourceforge.net/projects/preface/ if you want to take a look
at the current undocumented (but with passing tests) tool that can
just about do extract_method effectively). Though I intend to continue
working on PerlUnit (in fact I'm using it far more now than I was, so
I'm finding things that need fixing more often...) there may be people
better qualified to take it on.
