Hi Gábor,
It would be really useful if you could provide a similar page,
restricted to those packages that the Debian Perl Group maintains. You
can get a list using this command (I think):
grep-available -F Maintainer 'Perl Group' -s Package -n
I need a way to get this information regardless of where my script
runs so I need to be able to fetch this off some database or web site.
I'll see.

As you can see, CPAN has over 12000 package. Please use common sense in
what modules should be included in Debian. Some criteria _I_ would use
is:
Is it required by some program in Debian.
or Is it something people will most likely need for everyday hacks
and Is it maintained actively
I hope to put together some guidelines (in addition to the guidelines
of each distro) on what to include.
