Just noticed that ParaTools [1], a citation parsing framework has been
uploaded to CPAN as Biblio::Citation::Parser [2]. ParaTools is a side
project from the folks who created Eprints at Southhampton University.

It's nice to see more library oriented modules making their way onto
CPAN. More details below.

Subject: [PT] ParaTools v1.10 Released
Date: Mon, 6 Sep 2004 01:45:59 +0100
To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

The latest update to ParaTools, version 1.10, has been released. This 
version has some major changes:
        
- Module renaming: The ParaTools modules have been renamed to 
Biblio::Citation::Parser and Biblio::Document::Parser. This is to allow 
for the addition of ParaTools to CPAN, the Comprehensive Perl Archive 
Network.
- Two new modules have been added - Biblio::Citation::Parser::Citebase 
and Biblio::Document::Parser::Brody. Both written by Tim Brody, the 
former provides functionality based on the Citebase citation parser, 
and the latter provides an accurate means of reference extraction from 
documents.
- The ParaTools build process now uses Module::Build, a replacement for 
ExtUtils::MakeMaker that is written in pure Perl. This is a fairly new 
system, so may require that you install the Module::Build module. The 
automated CPAN installer does not yet support this, although CPANPLUS 
does, and the next version will include a fallback option.

The Perl modules are available from CPAN or from the ParaTools 
downloads page:
