Good to know.

I have started a bit of list;

* Test::Spelling (package created, sitting in debian's svn repo)
* Directory::Scratch
* Data::TreeDumper::Renderer::GTK
* Data::TreeDumper
* Test::Dependencies
* Module::Util
* Eval::Context
* Test::Block
* Directory::Scratch::Structured
* Test::Strict

But that is just the list of CPAN modules that asciio depends on, not
their CPAN dependencies nor their operating system dependencies. I
will try to compose a list of CPAN dependencies.

I hope to hack on this the next week or so because I told the asciio
author (Nadim Khemir) that I would package it for him. Ha ha ha, poor
guy, he has no idea what a slacker I am. Now here I am, about to see
him in Copenhagen face to face. As you can imagine any help I get I
greatly appreciate.

Cheers,
Jeremiah
