dmanura: dual life modules

Dear owner of one or more dual-life CPAN/bleadperl modules,

By using some recently developed tools that allow me to compare a CPAN
distribution with the allegedly equivalent one bundled with bleadperl,
I have now drawn up a list of all significant deviations, and I am
contacting all dual life authors which this effects. For two reasons:

Firstly to point out any such differences, with a general "wouldn't it be
great if blead and CPAN could get back in sync at some point" sentiment
attached.

Second, I am specifically trying to get the bundled modules in a fit state
to be included in 5.10.1. I'll explicitly mention it below if this affects
one of your modules. Note that the time-frame for significant changes to
be incorporated into 5.10.1 is now in the order of a week or two [Yes,
I've been saying this for months, but this time I really mean it. Maybe...  ]

Thanks,

Dave

    Text::Balanced

	blead has a couple of changes relative to 2.0.0; a fix to 00-load.t
	to make the test run within perl core, and a trivial typo fix to
	ext/Balanced.pm;

	    see the attached Text::Balanced-blead.diff file for the
	    differences between 2.0.0 and blead.

	Also in blead, 00.load.t has been renamed 00-load.t because
	apparently VMS doesn't like multiple '.'s in a filename
