 Perl Power Tools Project Asleep? So, is the Perl Power Tools project in low-power shutdown? Is
it resting? Neglected? Defunct? Waiting ... for Godot?

The code is all intact and at http://doriath.perl.com/ppt/, and you
may grab it from there. Nearly everything is done, save very hard
things like nroff and vi. What happened is that I had an irrecoverable
disk crash from which I was unable to restore the subscribers to
the mailing list. Without the mailing list as a focal point, most
participation dried up.
I need to get this on CPAN, but it's not clear where suites go.
I guess just in my author directory.

I'm probably doing something completely stupid, but after downloading
the ppt and unpacking it, how do I install the programs? In the scripts
directory, there are a few programs that seem to be part of the install
process, but one (mkln) is there only as a fragment. And there is no
Makefile.PL or something like that. I figured the programs would go into
bin/ and the docs would go into html/, but how?
Sorry if I missed something completely obvious. (Sure, I could write
the installer myself, I just wondered whether there wasn't one that
I overlooked.)
Thanks & nice to see you're back, Tom

Using "cp", probably, or "install". No, there is no installation process
for the suite. It's something that didn't happen.

Are you planning a new mailing list? Are there archives?
I noticed that in some of the directories there are several versions.
Which (if any) are the
correct versions ( look in ls, for example ) ?

I have no plans right now. That's because it's summer, and
I like it that way. If someone wants to get a mailing list
on perl.org for that, this sounds fine.

I never decided which of several competing versions to promote.
That would have happened once the installing system for the whole
suite were more (well, any) developed.

My first thought would be to add it to the CPAN scripts section, but they
aren't really 'scripts' either. Suites could also be viewed as bundles
though I'm not sure if one wants to glob them together. I don't see why they
couldn't go in your directory. Also, someone could get the ppt list going
again on perl.org.
