That's why I'm waiting on packaging XML::DOM, BTW, because it depends
on Perl 5.005, also. I've got a package built, but it's no good until
Perl 5.005 is uploaded. XML::CGI and XML::Writer are currently in the
distro, as well, and I'm working on packaging pretty much anything else
other than libxml-perl that's in the XML modules section of CPAN... if
you want anything else/have anything else already packaged, please, let
me know so the work isn't duplicated!

I have to say that I thoroughly agree with what you've presented, and,
if Adam welcomes our help (which I'm sure he will ;), I'll gladly
volunteer for whatever needs to be done. I'll maintain the web pages
in my space on master, if I may, and also continue my work on packaging
libxml-.*-perl... here's to a press release in the future: "Debian Touts
Integrated SGML/XML Enviroment" ;)
Thanks,
Stevie
