RE: New Modules 16-17 October 2000

    Aside: These must be new, as none of the links currently call anything up from CPAN :)

    This still bugs me. Why does only one of these have a minimal description of what it does? Anyone know who I could contact about voluntering to provide a least a one-liner for each new module announced? As I've said earlier, the descriptions are haphazard at best.

    Update: Looks like modules@perl.org may be a good place to start. :)

      The descriptions come from the modules list. Many times, modules aren't properly listed in the modules list because a) the author didn't send the proper info to modules@perl.org or b) the one responsible for adding the info doesn't. I am guessing that 'b' is the real bottleneck since I have sent info in for a few modules, which never showed up.

      Cheers,
