Description Kent Fredric (IRC: kent\n) (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2017-09-18 04:31:15 UTC
Seems this module was nuked from CPAN at some time, its not clear when.

The most recent release is:

https://metacpan.org/release/JAMADAM/Syntax-Highlight-Engine-Simple-0.09

But we only have the 2008 release: https://metacpan.org/release/JAMADAM/Syntax-Highlight-Engine-Simple-0.02 

But these are all "backpaned" ( Archive-Only ) now.

This can be by accident or by intent.

This ticket is just to keep tabs on probing upstream for a response, and may turn into a treeclean if upstream fail to respond.

Upstream have said this is long EOL. 

Nothing needs this anymore.
