In my opinion I don't think this package should be included, since it is only a
small script and their are lots of complicated trust issues involved. I suggest
you make sure that someone can just pop the perl script into ~/bin/ and it
should just work. Many people have made their own versions of this script and I
don't think it would be right to include one in the archive. In my opinion this
is unreasonable bloat given that the archive is already bulging at the seams.
