Perl package browser

I decided that it was time to add some functionality to the site again, starting with a browser to show what modules and documentation are available for the Perl installation on your machine. It’s still very rough - it makes path names longer than they need to be and doesn’t even work under Internet Explorer. There are also more optimizations I could do to make it perform faster, but some of them may require that I upgrade my account for more hard drive space.

The theory is that eventually this script will be useful enough that I can make it available for Web hosts to post on their own servers, so that customers have ready access to the information.

First things first, though. I need to make it work and work right.
