Still, I'm always open to constructive suggestions.  Neither anyone
nor anything is perfect :)

So...  Still rather wimpy with the statistics, I'm afraid.  All I
really did was add a counter for the total # of packages (707!) at the
top of the page, as well as a "last generated" bit.  I've rigged it to
run daily and push out to here until we find a more proper place to
put it:

    http://home.comcast.net/~ckweyl/fedora_perl.html

Again:
  * no non-CPAN module support yet (working on it)
  * works off of CVS, not packages in the repos
  * still definitely not a finished product

Is there anything else that would be useful?  I'm thinking of having
it spit out either a page per owner listing all their packages, or
another large page with an index at the top and individual tables per
owner.  (Though part of me is resisting this -- it's contrary to what
I'd like to see happen, that is, people taking ownership of perl as a
whole in Fedora.)
