Subject: Please generate large itest files during test time
Hi, I was today checking the sizes of the many Perl packages in the Debian Perl Group. And found that yours is one of the biggest, because of the itest/* files, which upon inspection reveal that are just series of the same string repeated many times. I know this is a very minor issue, but wasting 50 megabytes just because of this feels bad. You could generate the files during the test and nothing would be lost. Thanks.
All test files are now auto-genrated by itest.pl optional, interactive test script. Changes included in 0.14 release.
