The Perl 5 Module List, v2.49
=============================
Today 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
As usual, comments, corrections and suggestions are highly
appreciated. Not only to the new entries below but to the whole module
list. Please mail them to
[email protected].
Due to extreme tuit shortage I have *not* been able to take all mails
into account we received since the last posting of the module list in
June. Please accept my apologies for that. I have registered new users
up to the 499th CPAN developer today. That's a cuuute number just in
time for the conference and a gret pleasure for me to announce here.
As I'll be on vacation after the conference, I'd like to ask all
developers who have pending requests for inclusion into the module
list to mail them again in September so I do not have to wade through
lots of old mail. Thank you.
