Ok.  It doesn't appear to be in woody (3.0) and I couldn't find an ITP
(intent-to-package) entry in Debian's bug tracking system.  If someone
has already packaged it, I would like to see it.  My set of packages is
already done, but it would be good to compare.

I understand.  It doesn't take a lot of effort to package CPAN modules,
so I've decided to package everything you listed in your README.

I'll make sure I've got the lastest version.  Thanks for pointing this
out.

Sounds good.  That was what I had assumed.

Thanks for the quick reply.
