The list of packages is computed by finding all packages which end
up having either of PERL5_USE_PACKLIST, BUILDLINK_API_DEPENDS.perl,
or PERL5_PACKLIST defined in their make setup (tested via
"make show-vars VARNAMES=..."), minus the packages updated after
the perl package update.
sno@ was right after all, obache@ kindly asked and he@ led the
way. Thanks!

to group thousands.

Release 1.07
Remove unused code.
Add some more tests.
This module provides a single function called dump() that takes a
list of values as its argument and produces a string as its result.
The string contains Perl code that, when evaled, produces a deep
copy of the original arguments. The string is formatted for easy
reading.
If dump() is called in a void context, then the dump is printed on
STDERR instead of being returned.
If you don't like importing a function that overrides Perl's
not-so-useful builtin, then you can also import the same function
as pp(), mnemonic for "pretty-print".
