Are you still interested in bringing it back to life? You call me in.

Sad story. That confirms my fears that this project is dead (in this 
special case) and it confirms my fears that perl might be only "The 
glue of the internet" but not more. There are only a few projects 
written in perl that are bigger than a single script. In comparison to 
a lot of CMS written in PHP for example.

(I know that cons is written in a single script but only because of the 
decision to make the life easier for the user).

Thanks for this. I knew a little ruby (but more than python) so I think 
I will take rake instead of scons. (If we don't bring cons back to 
life.)
