I'm glad you do. If you like it enough after you finish it, I would
appreciate it if you recommend it on various
social-linking/blogging/etc. sites:

Very well. I don't think I took into consideration why the problems were
present there - I just noticed that they were.

I've sent you a pull request on github. There are still some things left
for you to do, like fill in the missing POD (in lib/Array/Columnize.pm)
and fixing a problem in the README.

I wasn't referring to the README, I referred to the inline POD in the
lib/*.pm files which is handled by doing "perldoc Array::Columnize" and
displayed as HTML in search.cpan.org metacpan.org, etc.
