        There is a modicum of documentation in flail itself, via the
        help command, including a brand-spanking new POD, also
        known as <a href="flail.html" title="the flail manual">the man page</a>.
        To get at all this goodness yourself,
        unpack <a href="bits/flail-0.2.5.tar.gz">the tarball</a>,
        read the <a href="bits/README">README</a>, and follow the instructions.
      </p>

      <p>
        If you like this or want to help me work on it, please let me
        know.  I have a lot of plans for this, but have to work on other
        things now.  Send email to
        <a href="mailto:flail@cluefactory.com">flail@cluefactory.org</a>
        with comments or, better, code.  The <tt>flail-dev@cluefactory.com</tt>
        mailing list also awaits you; send email to
        <tt>flail-dev-subscribe@cluefactory.com</tt> to subscribe.
      </p>

      <p>
        The latest release is <a href="bits/flail-0.2.5.tar.gz">0.2.5</a>.
        You can read <a href="flail.html" title="the flail manual">the manual</a> to get a better idea
        of how flail works.  You might also find some of the CPAN modules
        cached in my <a href="bits/">bits</a> directory of use.
        However, I would suggest trying to satisfy the dependences
        that Makefile.PL complains about using whatever means are
        normal on your system first.  For instance, under
        <a href="http://www.openbsd.org" title="OpenBSD: it's the 'open' stupid!">OpenBSD</a> you would look
        in <tt>/usr/ports</tt> for the missing Perl modules first.

              Recovered "lost" changes from a source tree on a dead laptop:
              multiple commands separated by semi-colons on the same line,
              reorganized SMTP code into <tt>send_via_program</tt> and
              <tt>send_via_smtp</tt> so that we can use e.g. <tt>msmtp</tt>
              to hack up outbound email via Gmail easily, updated example
              code in <tt>eg/</tt> subdir a bit.  Nothing major, but
