This is very cool, and I look forward to playing with it.

However,it seems to me that pgFoundry is the place for it and not /contrib.   
We're really trying not to add new projects to contrib unless they're likely 
to get merged with the man code in a couple of versions.  Further, it's got a 
major external dependency.

Besides, other perl hackers are more likely to play with it if it's somewhere 
more accessable.

Of course, if we had a nice code snippets feature working on pgfoundry 
that might be an ideal place for it ..... (That's a *big* *hint* BTW)
