Which opens the door for me :)

I'm currently responsible for XML::CommonNS and have been patching it like mad for the last week for kasei's hack. 

I'm also behind an attempt to bring Moose and OWL together in an incestuous child based on Ruby's ActiveRDF, an attempt to get the Bender IRC bot (dahut on freenode) to use some fashion of foaf Trust stuff for tracking trust relationships (possibly the ontology from mindswap), and other such trivial uses of Perl and RDF. 

Sadly my day job keeps me grounded solidly in a different world, so most of the projects are half baked.
