Package: wnpp Severity: normal Description-en: RFC 822/2068 header and unheader functions This module provides two new functions, header and unheader, which provide general-purpose RFC 822 header construction and parsing. They do not provide any intelligent defaults of HTTP-specific methods. They are simply aimed at providing an easy means to address the mechanics of header parsing. . The output style is designed to mimic CGI.pm and HTTP::Headers, so that users familiar with these interfaces will feel at home with these functions.
If somebody wants to pick up libtext-header-perl, that'd be great. It's not particularly much used (popcon has 23 installations), but I don't use it any more and don't particularly care for it. Its packaging surely needs updating, since it hasn't received any attention for a long time. If nobody picks this up in a reasonable time frame, I'll just ask for it to be removed. -- Tollef Fog Heen UNIX is user friendly, it's just picky about who its friends are
