Andy: I'm attempting to copy-and-paste your code and use against file in tarball. But I'm not clear what's supposed to go in the DATA handle.

When calling phalanx.pl ./cpan-gets, I get:

    Name "main::DATA" used only once: possible typo at /Users/jimk/bin
+/perl/phalanx.pl line 19.
    readline() on unopened filehandle DATA at /Users/jimk/bin/perl/pha
+lanx.pl line 19.

What am I not getting?

Update: I got it. I realized that the 2 columns of numbers you listed had to go after __END__.
