Perl::Astro

The suggestion was made that we need the Astro modules for perl. However, it looks like CPAN has over 200 Astro modules. Which ones are the most important ones for the purposes of CAL?

Ubuntu has two of these modules packaged for breezy.

It should be fairly simple to package other packages for debian/ubuntu, however. We just need to know which ones?

Building the canonical Astro package looks something like this (note: i'm choosing an arbitrary module which is part of the Astro package, since it doesn't build an eponymous module):

mkdir -p src/perl
cd src/perl
dh-make-perl --build --cpan Astro::Misc
sudo dpkg --install libastro-perl_0.64-1_all.deb

it could be much more complicated for some fancier modules, though.
