Well, I didn't had free time as though I would so I haven't wrote it yet. Well, it's not a dependency of octave, it's just a script to automate something that can be done manually. Most of the maintainers won't need it anyway and this is the type of thing that it's much easier (at least for me), to write in perl than in octave.
