The Perl 5 Module List, v2.45
=============================
Last night I posted a new module list to the newsgroups
comp.lang.perl.modules, comp.answers, and news.answers. The HTML
version of the list has been uploaded to CPAN as well:
http://www.perl.com/CPAN/modules/00modlist.long.html
This is the first posting after a longish break and I apologize to
those who have been relying on the quick turnaround of two module
lists per month. In the next days I'll experiment with an update mode
that changes the HTML version on a day to day basis, so the regular
postings are just snapshots of the HTML version. Stay tuned.
As usual, comments, corrections and suggestions are more than
welcome. Please 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.
