Subject: New Module List Posted

Newsgroups: comp.lang.perl.announce

Last night I posted a new revision (2.34) 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.

Thanks to all of you who keep us up to date with recent and future
development. Please continue to check for modules you know about. If
there are no entries for them or if the entries are wrong, please
contact us or the authors directly. Help to save the world! Send
corrections and suggestions for supplements to [email-masked].

Thank you,
andreas
