In fact, I managed to index them.  I can't add per-module lists of
programs (it does not validate) and the indexing has to be for
perl-modules rather than the specific module, but in r16088 I've
added Contents and Short Descriptions.  The seg-list was
interesting: it seems it can only include text within a seg (I tried
to put a seglist within the program segment, then I tried to put
paragraphs there - both failed to validate), but using emphasis
(which is actually italic, at least on my system) on the module
names within the 'Installed Programs' helps separate Module::Name:
from the program(s).  I've also given them the names we use in the
page, so 'Archive:;Zip' with colons, but 'libwww-perl' with a dash.
