I released version 1.16.1 of Rex, the friendly automation framework on #CPAN.

This patch release delivers bug fixes for hostgroup membership lists, executable discovery without `which`, and many others on BSDs and Solaris, including discovering memory usage details.

Special thanks to Ctrl O Ltd for sponsoring Rex maintenance!

Happy hacking!

Why do I keep making subtle mistakes on uploading CPAN modules!

What are your tips on creating a FOSS release without unwanted/wrong information?

I just uploaded Math-Permutation-0.0211, this is the third release I made within two days. Then I found the licensing info on README text file is incorrect. The mistake was made because I recreated the folder structure by Module-Starter, because I kept getting MYMETA.yml and MYMETA.json after "perl Makefile.PL; make". On Math-Permutation-0.0210, I found the MANIFEST text file has an unwanted listing "Math-Permutation-0.0201.tar.gz" .

I was slightly too young in my career to really get to use #perl professionally. I know more ruby than I do perl. I really have always secretly wanted to learn it but I can never come up with a problem to solve with it
