I've just completed a reorganization and update of the perl5 locker
(aka /afs/athena/contrib/perl5).  It now has a current build of perl
5.004_4, along with some useful unbundled modules, built and installed
for the supported Athena platforms (sgi_53, sgi_63, sun4x_55,
i386_linux2, i386_nbsd1).  This has the additional side effect of
fixing a nasty configuration problem that existed with the 5.003
installation which prevented Socket.pm from working properly.

The modules currently installed in the perl5 locker for perl 5.004
are:

        Compiler-a3
        Curses-1.01
        IO-stringy-1.105
        libnet-1.0605
        libwww-perl-5.19
        MailTools-1.11
        MIME-Base64-2.05
        MIME-tools-4.113
        Tk402.004

Note that the IO module has moved into the perl core, so that's still
available.

Enjoy.  If you have any issues with the perl5 locker, please send mail
to perldev@mit.edu.
