+          <para>[ken] - Merge the perl modules branch. This separates the perl
+          modules into those directly used by other packages in the book, and
+          those which are only mentioned as dependencies of other modules.  For
+          each, provide versioned download and md5sum, a summary of what it
+          does, and build instructions. Fixes
+          <ulink url="&blfs-ticket-root;11123">#11123</ulink>.</para>
+          <para>Add XML::SAX::Expat as yet another optional parser dependency
+          for XML::Simple.</para>
+
+          <para>Remove IO::Socket::INET-6 and Socket-6 from the dependencies of
+          Net::DNS (they were dropped from that in v1.16 according to its
+          Changes file). Fixes
+          <ulink url="&blfs-ticket-root;11066">#11066</ulink>.</para>
+
+          <para>The runtime dependency for URI is HTTP::Message (which was split
+          out of libwww-perl). Fixes
+          <ulink url="&blfs-ticket-root;11148">#11148</ulink>.</para>
+
+          <para>Updated the instructions for using cpan to install modules. Fixes
+          <ulink url="&blfs-ticket-root;11123">#11123</ulink>.</para>
+
+          <para>Module::Runtime can now be built using the conventional process,
+          although it still lists Module::Build as a prerequisite.</para>
+
+          <para>Remove Package::Stash::XS from the dependencies of
+          Package::Stash, it is not required.</para>
+
+          <para>File::Copy::Recursive - all dependencies are for the testsuite,
+          Test::Exception is not required and Test::utf8 includes a copy of
+          Module::Install, using that requires an 'unsafe' install so delete
+          the dependency on Module::Install.</para>
+
+          <para>In libwww-perl - drop the 'Bundle' a.k.a which has not been used
+          for v6, and demote it to a dependency because no non-perl packages
+          directly reference it.</para>
+
+          <para>I have attempted to separate the dependencies only needed when
+          running tests, but I have assumed that people will either test a module
+          and all of its dependencies, or not test, so that (like the build
+          dependencies) anything pulled in by an alphabetically-previous
+          dependency of the current module is not specifically listed.</para>
+
+          <para>Updated perl dependencies as at 7th November.</para>
+
+          <para>Updated to Archive-Zip-1.64. Fixes
+          <ulink url="&blfs-ticket-root;11142">#11142</ulink>.</para>
+
+          <para>Updated to Business-ISMN-1.201. Fixes
+          <ulink url="&blfs-ticket-root;11263">#11263</ulink>.</para>
+
+          <para>Updated to Net-DNS-1.18. Fixes
