Doug Barton 989772c9ac The vast majority of pkg-descr files had the following format when they
had both lines:

Author: ...
WWW: ....

So standardize on that, and move them to the end of the file when necessary.

Also fix some more whitespace, and remove more "signature tags" of varying
forms, like -- name, etc.

s/AUTHOR/Author/

A few other various formatting issues

Declaring constants is very convenient for writing programs, but as
they're often inlined by Perl, retrieving their symbolic names can be
tricky. This is made worse with low level modules that use constants for
bit-twiddling.
Devel::Constants makes this much more manageable.
It silently wraps around the constant module, intercepting all constant
declarations. It builds a hash, associating the values to their names.
The names can then be retrieved as necessary.
