I agree completely and will adopt you suggestion.  BTW, I will be the
maintainer with the package having the longest name in Debian. Wow!

I forgot to ask in debian-devel in which section this package should go.
Looking for the sections of the *-perl packages in frozen's Packages.gz
file, yields:

    libdbd-mysql-perl: contrib/interpreters
    libdbi-perl: contrib/interpreters
    dpkg-perl: devel
    libcgi-perl: web
    libcompress-zlib-perl: libs
    libcurses-perl: libs
    libdelimmatch-perl: text
    libgtk-perl: interpreters
    libio-stringy-perl: interpreters
    liblockdev0-perl: interpreters
    libmd5-perl: interpreters
    libmime-base64-perl: libs
    libmime-perl: mail
    libnet-perl: interpreters
    libterm-readkey-perl: libs
    libtime-hires-perl: libs
    libtime-period-perl: interpreters
    libtimedate-perl: interpreters
    libwww-perl: interpreters
    libxbase-perl: interpreters
    netcdf-perl: math
    libgd-perl: non-free/graphics

Apparently there is not much logic in the choice of sections
(e.g. libmime-base64-perl & libmime-perl).  I am missing some other
"pure Perl" packages, like Manoj's pkg-order (in section misc).

In waiting the "Perl Module Packaging Policy for Debian", which section
should I choose for libparse-recdescent-perl? (That's a long name, eh?)

Another question: the upstream package provides documentation in POD
format.  Where should it go?  I first thought in putting under
/usr/lib/perl5/pod, but I guess that /usr/doc/libparse-recdescent-perl
would be more appropriate.
