Is the ExtUtils::Installed in Perl 5.10 broken?

I need to be able to query an installed CPAN package and find out what files it
contains. I had code that worked fine with Perl 5.8, but it doesn't work with
5.10. Any ideas? Is there another way that I should be doing this?

# From shell, install a silly package:
cpan Acme::please
 
# From Perl, get the lists of file in this package:

Stop spammers from broadcasting to your Google Groups
=====================================================
 
Is your Google Groups mailing list broadcasting messages from spammers?
If so, it makes your group look bad, annoys subscribers, pollutes the
archives, and hurts your community.

Thankfully, you can easily stop these spam broadcasts. By changing your
group settings, administrators will be able to see the first posts made
by new members and decide whether to allow them before they're broadcast

"Vimium" adds vi-like key mappings to Google Chrome browser: http://bit.ly/9K14IQ

You can change your mappings in Extensions > Vimium > Advanced Options > Key mappings. 

Here are key mappings that I find useful:

map b scrollFullPageUp

map m previousTab
map , nextTab

# This gist describe's the OpenConferenceWare data structures
# related to user favorites. 
#
# The hope is that this will help with creating an algorithm that
# can schedule sessions in an optimal way based on:
#
# * User favorites: Don't schedule talks at same time if many
#   users favorite them together.
# * Tracks: Balance out tracks so that there aren't, for example,
#   only "cooking" track talks happening at the same time.

Etherpad: find the URL for a page if you can only remember some of its contents

1. Connect to the Etherpad database, the credentials are in a file like src/etherpad/trunk/etherpad/etc/etherpad.localdev-default.properties

2. Execute SQL similar to that below, replacing Phantom Chicken with your search term:

    SELECT DISTINCT(m.ID) FROM `PAD_REVMETA_META` AS m LEFT JOIN
      (`PAD_REVMETA_TEXT` AS t) ON (m.NUMID = t.NUMID) WHERE t.DATA 
      LIKE '%Phantom Chicken%';
   

3. Use the IDs shown to compose a URL, e.g. if ID is omgkittens and your Etherpad server is at etherpad.mysite.com, then your URL is http://etherpad.mysite.com/omgkittens.
