Recent commentscan't get it working...
It seems you're required to install using "automated methods".
This isn't very practical unless you have root access.
Perhaps a "standalone" version would be a good idea...
hard to install, didn't work
Installation isn't just the standard stuff (perl Makefile.PL, etc.), and was difficult to figure out. Maybe there is documentation on installing it, but I couldn't find it. For the benefit of anyone else who wants to give it a shot, it has dependencies on a library called LWP (a.k.a. libwww-perl), and also Crypt::SSLeay and TimeDate. The man page is actually pretty nice, though.
Once I got it to run, it actually didn't work:
