So it seems O'Reilly finally got around to axeing the hidden gem on their website, Perl Power Tools, I discovered as I was about to give a stock reply to grepp -- Perl version of grep. Worse still, the SourceForge project is empty, and I've never been able to get a reply from the maintainers all these years... So, does anybody have a recent copy of the kit? Would it be worth adding these to CUfP or Catacombs? It seems like the least that should be done is to par it up and add it to the CPAN scripts section (as I did with bcrond, which has the same problem of being multiple files while CPAN currently only allows single file scripts). Other thoughts?

PS> Fortunately it seems the Internet Archive might have something...

UPDATE: cwest has taken notice and plans to have something up RSN
