[wplug] perl module --> debian package

[John Harrold]

Hey,

I was trying to run a perl script on a Debian box and it kept complaining
that I didn't have the right perl module installed (in this case 
the Date::Format module). Typically typically I can look through the
available packages with 'apt-cache search' and find the correct debian
package to install. In this case the name of the package was
'libtimedate-perl' --- which isnt obvious given all of the other packages
with 'date' in them. So I was wondering if there was something out there
that maps perl modules to the Debian package that provides them. Perhaps I
just need to be more creative when using apt-cache.
