yaird uses at lest the following perl modules which are not currently present in perl-base but are in perl: ./Image.pm:use File::Copy; ./Pack.pm:use File::Temp; On the one hand, perl-base exists to provide the perl modules needed by packages in the Debian base system, so if a package like debconf or so needs a specific module, it can be moved from perl to that package. If yaird becomes part of the base system, or close enough to be needed to fit on Debian netinst CDs (which is pretty much the same thing), then adding the modules it needs to perl-base should not be a problem. perl's maintainer is very helpful about these things in my experience. On the other hand, the use of File::Copy is trivially replaced by a system() call. I'd be careful replacing the File::Temp usages with something else though. It also uses HTML::Template and Parse::Recdescent that are in separate packages. From what I can see of the config files, using Parse::Recdescent to parse them is overkill; it should be possible to write a parser by hand pretty easily. The use of HtmlTemplate is quite strange. -- see shy jo
