Subject: New Module List Posted
From: [email-masked] (Andreas Koenig)

Newsgroups: comp.lang.perl.announce

Last night I posted a new revision (2.36) of the Perl 5 Module List to
comp.lang.perl.modules. See the header of this posting for a
reference. The HTML version is uploaded to CPAN as
modules/00modlist.long.html Try
    <URL:http://www.perl.com/CPAN/modules/00modlist.long.html>
or your nearest CPAN site.

As I forgot to post the diffs last time, I append the diffs between
revision 2.34 and 2.36, i.e. the changes since Dec 5, 1996.

Please check the new (and old, such as e.g. Apache :-) entries
carefully so you do not have to duplicate work by developing All That
Jazz. Better you play your own tune and let us know what it gives.

Thanks,
andreas
