Hi folks,
maybe it needs a programmatic solution?
debian perl function finder
input: standard perl formated name
output: debian package name

% foobar date::format
libtimedate-perl

or maybe the consensus is that people who truly want to find it, will
put in the effort, thus nullifying the need for the above.
