[gentoo-dev] [Fwd: [gentoo-perl] Candidates for removal from dev-perl]

This message was originally posted on gentoo-perl so it could fester and
mature a little first (but then I jumped the gun and decided to post it
here :).

OK, I've done an initial weeding of this list and taken out the obvious
"we wouldn't be a distro without these" packages. The following list are
those ebuilds in dev-perl that are never depended on by another package.
I did do a quick scan of ChangeLog's, following up on referenced bugs.
Please let me know if there is anything here that should justifiably be
kept (the goal is to remove some of the cruft in dev-perl and get it
down to stuff that is actually needed). Thanks kids!

This is needed for CIA commit scripts, might be a good idea to leave it there 
for who uses Gentoo as SCM server.

What's its use?  Furthermore, does its used get decreased through the
employment of g-cpan to install it?

Just let me know what in the tree is using it :)


Mind you, the actual removal of packages will be a group
effort/confirmation (at the very least within the gentoo perl project) -
i'm only presenting the list of ebuilds that serve no dependency and
that sit in dev-perl currently.

net-www/awstats can use it, there's been a bug about it [1] for some
time, since ka0ttic is MIA... I'll get someone else commit it.
