Well, but the idea is that the page linked to at cpan.perl.com has a link
to the distribution, so if you go there, you can get what you need.  Less
for us to worry about putting into the MMP database.

Might be something to take up with modules@perl.org.  No one there ever
responded to my last query about ports, though.  If you do send it there,
copy this list.  (I will resend that to this list.)

Though I think that if they don't want to act on it, perhaps just using
"bin" would be OK.  Not entirely accurate, but oh well.  :)
