For detail, see http://search.cpan.org/~phish Whether it is actively maintained, is arguable. It's latest changes date back to 04/04, but this doesn't mean much, because these packages "just work". Several other perl modules from Bill's list also are base-packages/dependencies of perl-XML-LibXML, eg. perl-XML-SAX and perl-XML-NamespaceSupport. I.e. lurking in Bill's list is a proposal to remove a tree of perl-modules forming a popular libxml2 perl-interface ;) Ralf
