The list does not require subscription to post, but it would make it a bit easier to follow if you are subscribed. If you don't like to subscribe, remember to ask to be CC-ed on replies. > As a little bit of recreational clean-up, I've written a basic test for > get_stdmodules, as well as altering it so that instead of it rooting around > in perl's @INC, and firing off `dpkg -L`, it instead just asks > Module::CoreList, which has already been Debianised for etch, and which > contains a list of all the core modules for each version of Perl. > > It significantly reduces the complexity, size, and execution time of the > code.

Great. dpkg is pretty much guaranteed to exist on any "Debian" system, but avoiding both the fork and the parsing hackery is welcome. > Patches are attached, again generated from git.

I don't mind doing the cherry-picking myself. I only ask you to base them against the current master on git.debian.org (which corresponds to SVN trunk). I am also fine with giving you commit access directly to the SVN repository. So far you seem to know what you're doing and we can always revert :P Side note: several of the characters you'd find on debian-perl list are also hanging in #debian-perl IRC channel (irc.debian.org, OFTC). -- dam JabberID: dam@jabber.minus273.org
