I think you're jumping the gun a bit.

Most people assume that something not working is their own fault before
assuming the module contains a bug. Horses not Zebras. If it was me I'd
ask on a mailing list before emailing the author. Which Tethys did.

I'd guess it's a convenience thing. We've got a small number of perl
people onlist and a lot of people that've done bits of perl so it's a
reasonable place to raise a question. And the advantage of GLLUG is we're
already subscribed.

That'll help.
