Version 0.04 of SMS::AQL which I released the other day gets a 100% “Kwalitee” score on CPANTS (the CPAN Testing Service) – see the report.

Thanks to Altinity for featuring SMS::AQL in their Opsview package and for mentioning it on their blog.

Finally released SMS::AQL Perl module">SMS::AQL v0.04 to CPAN last night, incorporating improvements kindly submitted by Ton Voon from Altinity.  Thanks Ton!

I’ve now taken over maintainership of Lyrics::Fetcher Perl module on CPAN">Lyrics::Fetcher, and just released version 0.3.2 to CPAN.
