I wrote them. (One of my first exercises in XS and Perl internals, as
a matter of fact.) They're quite trivial to produce, not taking
variations of what constitutes whitespace into account.
Because no one has submitted them, I guess. I don't have a PAUSE
account. I keep meaning to request one, but the justification
requirement keeps getting in my way. :-(
(Not that that should change. CPAN's got enough trouble as it is.)
