With regards to bug #734123, what is the groups' feeling on packaging libxml-libxml-devel-setlinenumber-perl given the following on the metacpan page[0]: > DESCRIPTION > > This module exports one function: > > set_line_number($node, $number) > > Sets a node's line number. > > Why in name of all that is good and holy would you want to do that? Frankly, you probably don't. And you probably shouldn't. > > There's just about one sitution where it makes sense. If you are, say, writing a parser for a non-XML format that happens to have an XML-like data model, then you might wish to parse your format into an XML::LibXML document with elements, attributes and so on. And you might want all those nodes to return the correct line numbers when the line_number method is called on them. Say, for instance that you're working on HTML::HTML5::Parser. > THIS MODULE IS WELL DODGY > > And you're a fool if you use it.
