contents of perl-tar vs "MailScanner -v"

[Jeff A. Earickson]

Julian,

I upgraded to MailScanner 4.37.7 this morning, and I compared
the output of "MailScanner -v" to the tarfiles in perl-tar.  Since
I do things by hand and don't use the install-sh script, I take
a look at the included perl tarballs to see if something new is
out there that I need to install.  The output of "MailScanner -v"
did not say anything about several of the perl tarballs, specifically
no output for:

Compress::Zlib
Convert::TNEF
ExtUtils::MakeMaker
File::Spec
HTML::Tagset
IO::Stringy

and the MailTools and TimeDate additions.  Maybe the "-v" code needs
to be tuned a bit?  I use another little tool call "pmdesc", written
by Tom Christiansen of O'Reilly Perl-book fame, to figure out what perl
modules I have installed on my systems.  Maybe that would help?
