I've uploaded my XS modules. I do have some odd problem with grepmail
and perl 5.8; something to do with regexes.

joey@dragon(chroot):~package/grepmail>./grepmail 
Useless (?g) - use /g modifier in regex; marked by <-- HERE in m/(?mg <-- HERE x)^(From\s.*\d:\d\d:\d\d\s\d{4}|
                                  From\s.*\d:\d\d:\d\d\s\d{4}\s[+-]\d{4}|
                                  From\s.*\d:\d\d\s.*\w{2,3}\s\d{4})$/ at ./grepmail line 163.

I will likey be building some of the modules causing the following:

The following packages will be REMOVED:
  apt-src frozen-bubble frozen-bubble-lib grepmail libapt-pkg-perl
  libdigest-md5-perl libhtml-parser-perl libhtml-tree-perl libmime-base64-perl
  libnet-perl libsdl-perl libterm-readline-gnu-perl libtime-hires-perl
  libwww-perl 

And will be happy to NMU them in if requested.
