Re: Boot-Floppies: perl task package

[Roderick Schertler <roderick@argon.org>]

You didn't say what the task-perl list is supposed to embody.  I think a lot
of the packages you've got on it are specialty modules, I wouldn't recommend
them as part of a general Perl runtime or development environment.  I'd
include at least these in that category:

    perl2html
    libdbi-perl
    libgnome-perl
    liblocale-gettext-perl
    libio-stringy-perl
    libipc-signal-perl
    libtime-period-perl
    libtimedate-perl
    libdelimmatch-perl
    libdbd-csv-perl
    libdbd-mysql-perl
    libfile-sync-perl
    libfile-tail-perl
    liblockdev0-perl

I recommend removing them all.  That would leave:

    libcgi-perl
    libcompress-zlib-perl
    libdatecalc-perl
    libdevel-symdump-perl
    libdigest-md5-perl
    libhtml-parser-perl
    libhtml-tree-perl
    libmime-base64-perl
    libmime-perl
    libnet-dns-perl
    libnet-perl
    libnet-telnet-perl
    liburi-perl
    libwww-perl

I think these are of general utility and interest.
