Hallo folks!

Here is a relatively new perl fan that has followed the news in comp.lang.perl
for about half a year or so (since patchlevel 27, to give a perlese date).

I especially liked the procedure of installing perl (Configure, make depend,
make, make test, make install).

Lately I have seen requests for "metaconfig" which I think is just the
package I need for a job I have to do here.

I tried to locate a version of this package on the internet, but without luck.

My questions:
*Does* a package "metaconfig" exist, that contains more than is already in
the perl-kits?
If so, where can I get it?
When will there be the new (the first) release of such a package?

Any help welcome!
