Enter the XPathScript manual

I> As XPathScript is growing to be a pretty beefy module, I wanted to collect all its manpages into a manual. So I did the obvious: I wrote a script that... ...uses Pod::Parser to extract the pod from the distribution... (and YAML::Loader to get a few infos from META.yaml), ...passed it through Pod::DocBook to get a DocBook representation of the document, ... ...massaged it with XML::LibXML... ...used XPathScript to convert the result into LaTeX... ...which finally can be compiled into PDF (*pant* *pant* *pant*). The L doesn't look too bad, I am tempted to say.

... it's the only way to be sure

I. It's been a little bit over a year that CPAN thinks XPathScript is stuck at version 0.16. Which, considering that it has climbed up to version 1.45 since, it getting slightly irritating. I tried pretty much everything I could think of to fix the problem on my end, not to avail. So time to get the big guns: I've reset the version to I and forced a re-indexing. CPAN, dodge that. In related XPathScript news, a new -- and much purtier -- xpathscript demo for axkit2 has been sent Matt's way. Also, the L is back online. In unrelated news: on my system CPANPLUS bloats to B?! Ay caramba!
