Well, I made a grand and over melodramatic comment about how if I don't get Perl done by X date, then I must not care enough about Perl and it should be taken over. Well, Murphy being as he is decided to take out my development machine 2 days before that date. This caused me a bit of a problem since I couldn't work on it as I had planned. You might've noticed my plea for a login somewhere so that I could finish building it. This was a little later but I didn't think of doing such a thing until I was asked why I hadn't. So, while a case could be made that Branden should have the Perl packages, I still think that I do and plan to continue developing them. I'm currently waiting for the perl 5.6.0 packages in incoming to be installed. Once that happens, I can release all the 5.004, 5.005, and 5.6.0 packages that don't have alternatives in them. They need to all be installed at the same time since some packages having alternatives and some not is dangerous.
