This was a very nice surprise...someone found one of our programs from
SenseClusters (mat2harbo.pl) and applied it to a completely different task...

This also illustrates what I think is one of the great advantages of CPAN -
it exposes individual component programs and makes them browsable
and searchable without requiring that the package be downloaded...this is
also why I always talk about thinking about possible "partial" uses of a
package, where a user just wants a few of the components and not all of
them - we need to document and test everything with that in mind, so that
a user can pull out a single piece and use it without having to engage in
a great struggle...

Anyway, a very nice example of what we want to have happen!
