I can't see how a g-cpan-like=20 app can help us with this. --nextPart7169977.x4Fu68xPJY Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Description: This is a digitally signed message part. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.9 (GNU/Linux) iEYEABECAAYFAklw5PMACgkQr8CXmOQDW83FQACgqOA56ynmqG6NO4SF20cPn8V+ DWsAniqdUu8WG9KtZBjJZu/WtcQVbXTd =6srg -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --nextPart7169977.x4Fu68xPJY--
