The Perl 5 Module List, v2.42...
================================

A new revision is on it's way around USENET and CPAN. It has been
posted to

   news:comp.lang.perl.modules

and uploaded to

   http://www.perl.com/CPAN/modules/00modlist.long.html

The recent changes are appended below. As usual, comments, corrections
and suggestions are more than welcome. Please don't hesitate, mail
them to [email protected]

I believe that I have taken into account all mails we have received
since the last posting. If this is not the case, please let us know.

A big Thank You to all contributors helping us to keep the document up
to date, and very special warm regards to those having their birthdays
these days :-)
