Right, but that's only for released versions (MARC::* -- see other
response), and there's still the problem of external deps (JS::SM),
and blah blah blah ... That may be a component of the overall
solution, but only a small part, and then only if the external
maintenance effort turns out to be worth it overall.  To stay true to
perl, TMTOWTDI. :)

Also, I haven't forgotten my promise of a general
build/packaging/deployment proposal.  I'm working on it in between
spates of enjoying my first vacation of significance in over four
years ...  (OT: daughter walked for the first time!! :D )

You can (all) expect it sometime early next week.  Thanks for the patience!
