The Perl 5 Module List, v2.43...
================================

A new revision of the module list 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. In addition, Graham Barr and
Tim have added a new section, a ``Standards Cross Reference'', that
gives a nice overview on which modules deal with which standards.

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 apologies to all who didn't get responses as quick as they
should.
