Hello, 

latest status: As suggested on the list I amended freeware_readme.txt to 
include a paragraph pointing out the difference in default floating point
behaviour between 5.8.1RC4 and earlier versions (like 5.6.1).

I am currently not adding further modules to the distribution, but have the 
following on the list for the next version:

Bit::Vector
Date::Calc
Text::CSV_Xs
RMS
VMS::Logical
VMS::Lock
IO::Stringy
OLE::Storage_Lite
Spreadsheet::ParseExcel
URI
HTML::Tagset
HTML::Parser
HTML::Tree
HTML::TreeBuilder
Libwww-Perl
VMS::Persona
Pod2VMShlp
Time::Hires
Archive::Zip
CPAN

Out of purely selfish reasons I will also try DBD::MySQL.

Greetins, Martin

P.S. Some of the reasons I am right now not adding new Perl Modules to 
the freeware kit:
- I want it to be reasonably stable
- The latest versions of Gnuplot and the CVS client need a makeover to 
  build on OpenVMS
- Getting OpenSSL support back into MySQL
