You think? I expect most new packagers simply use a template
or have the package autogenerated. Contributions from non-perl
packagers -- that's a valid point but most the macros ppisar
suggested seem to be fairly self-descriptive.
Updating the docs and cpanspec[0] is a must, of course.

dead cpanspec -- more generic and hopefully more maintainable.
It's still not ready, though.
