I agree completely and will adopt you suggestion.  BTW, I will be the
maintainer with the package having the longest name in Debian. Wow!

I forgot to ask in debian-devel in which section this package should go.
Looking for the sections of the *-perl packages in frozen's Packages.gz
file, yields:

libdbd-mysql-perl: contrib/interpreters
libdbi-perl: contrib/interpreters
dpkg-perl: devel
libcgi-perl: web
libcompress-zlib-perl: libs
libcurses-perl: libs
libdelimmatch-perl: text
libgtk-perl: interpreters
libio-stringy-perl: interpreters
liblockdev0-perl: interpreters
libmd5-perl: interpreters
libmime-base64-perl: libs
libmime-perl: mail
libnet-perl: interpreters
libterm-readkey-perl: libs
libtime-hires-perl: libs
libtime-period-perl: interpreters
libtimedate-perl: interpreters
libwww-perl: interpreters
libxbase-perl: interpreters
netcdf-perl: math
libgd-perl: non-free/graphics

Apparently there is not much logic in the choice of sections
(e.g. libmime-base64-perl  libmime-perl).  I am missing some other
pure Perl packages, like Manoj's pkg-order (in section misc).

In waiting the Perl Module Packaging Policy for Debian, which section
should I choose for libparse-recdescent-perl? (That's a long name, eh?)

Another question: the upstream package provides documentation in POD
format.  Where should it go?  I first thought in putting under
/usr/lib/perl5/pod, but I guess that /usr/doc/libparse-recdescent-perl
would be more appropriate.

The description you gave of the package makes it sound like it should
go in devel with the other parser generators, but I haven't looked at
the module myself.

Rafael As my application to become a Debian developer is
Rafael underway, let me state my intentions of packaging.  You
Rafael will find below short descriptions of the following
Rafael packages: bibindex (take over), ibrazilian, recdescent,
Rafael tipa (these four packages are done, ready for uploading),
Rafael as well as plplot and iportuguese (these two not yet
Rafael done).

Welcome!

Rafael Tell me if there are any objections/problems.

One small gripe:

Rafael recdescent (on CPAN:
Rafael modules/by-module/Parse/Parse-RecDescent.tar.gz):

Rafael Perl module Parse::RecDescent for incrementally generating
Rafael top-down recursive-descent text parsers from simple
Rafael yacc-like grammar specifications.

Rafael GPL'd.

This package should be named libparse-recdescent-perl to go along
with all the other Perl module packages' names (libmd5-perl,
libdbd-mysql-perl, et cetera).

Good luck!

Ben
