Geo::Coder::GoogleMaps got its own Google code

Hi,
I am resuming the work I did more than one year ago on some of my Perl modules. I don't know why but I got tired of Perl coding (certainly because I did a lot of Perl in my professional life). But in holidays, before or after snowboarding, Perl looks fun again ! After updating my Games::CroqueMonsters module, I resumed the work on Geo::Coder::GoogleMaps.
I looked at the CPAN's RT, noted bugs and feature requests and start working again on this module. Then I though that it would be nice to have a code repository for this work. Being a Sourceforge fan I tough about it first, but the over long new project form convinced me that it was not the right choice. So I gave Google Code a chance, and fortunately it do the job pretty well ! So, the new place to find development code for the Geo::Coder::GoogleMaps Perl module is here :
http://code.google.com/p/geo-coder-googlemaps/
Do not hesitate to drop by and even do/request a code review !

Because Perl requires uneccessary cognitive overpower ? Sorry, I couldn't resist ! ^^
Seriously, I also have the same feeling regarding Google Code: compared to SourceForge it's less cumbersome, which make it ideal for small to medium sized projects.
I'm currently testing GitHub as an alternative solution to host a bunch of scripts. Looks promising but may not meet your needs (no bug tracker or code review tools).
Anyway, happy coding !
Troll !!! It's still less painfull than this weird script language which told you where to put spaces, called Python !
More seriously (too), I also though of GitHub and I will try it one day... I'm quite confident in the fact I will have the need for a repository that just do repository, some Perl modules for example
BTW, I was wrong. GitHub has an integrated Issue Tracker since April: http://github.com/blog/411-github-i...
Moreover, the "close issue from message log" feature looks really great !!
