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 modules@perl.org. 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.
