However, the facts that (a) no one ever submitted any patches for any of these ideas; (b) the thread petered out over four years ago suggest that we don't have a compelling reason to move this out of perlmod. Do people agree with that argument? If so, we can put this ticket out of its misery. Thank you very much.
