Today I reported quite a lot of bugs against outdated Perl packages. I did that\nsemi-automatically using a small script that compares versions of packages in\nDebian and on CPAN. I didn't made a public announcement or warning before so I\ngot flamed right away. However, I think it improved the quality of Perl\npackages in Debian a bit. Until know around 20 packages with, partially vintage\nversions, have been updated since this morning. I guess a lot more will follow.
