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

Newsgroups: comp.lang.perl.announce

Today I posted a new revision (2.38) 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.

This version contains several editorial changes in the intro and to
section 2 which are not listed here. Please check the text and also
check for modules you know about. Please also check if your own
modules are listed correctly. If there are no entries for them or if
the entries need some cleenup, send us a note!

Send corrections and suggestions for supplements to
[email-masked] (preferred) or [email-masked].

Thank you,
andreas
