It has been posted to news:comp.lang.perl.modules and uploaded to http://www.perl.com/CPAN/modules/00modlist.long.html The recent changes are appended below. In addition, Graham Barr and Tim have added a new section, a ``Standards Cross Reference'', that gives a nice overview on which modules deal with which standards. As usual, comments, corrections and suggestions are more than welcome. Please don't hesitate, mail them to modules@perl.org I believe that I have taken into account all mails we have received since the last posting. If this is not the case, please let us know. A big Thank You to all contributors helping us to keep the document up to date and apologies to all who didn't get responses as quick as they should.
