Hi, (Please Cc: me.) I'd like to upload these two Perl modules. Though I wrote these modules myself to be used by debconf, I will upload these modules to CPAN and these packages won't be debian-specific package. See a thread of discussion in debian-i18n list starting from: http://lists.debian.org/debian-i18n/2003/debian-i18n-200306/msg00012.html Package: libtext-charwidth-perl Description: Get width of characters on terminal This module permits perl softwares to get the width of characters and strings on terminal, using wcwidth() and wcswidth() in C. . It provides mbwidth(), mbswidth(), and mblen(). License: perl Package: libtext-wrapi18n-perl Description: International substitution of Text::Wrap This module intends to substitute Text::Wrap, which supports multibyte characters such as UTF-8, EUC-JP, and GB2312, fullwidth characters such as east Asian characters, combining characters such as diacritical marks and Thai, and languages which don't use whitespaces between words such as Chinese and Japanese. . It provides wrap(). License: perl Since these packages have to be Depends:ed by debconf package, Priority: of these packages have to be important. (Joey and I have agreed on this point, please see the debian-i18n thread.) Test releases (needing brush-up) are already available at http://www.debian.or.jp/~kubota/mojibake/debconf --- Tomohiro KUBOTA <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://www.debian.or.jp/~kubota/
