Re: Adopt HTML::Formatter?

All fine with me, thanks. I hadn't done developer releases before but I 
just looked it up and it sounds like that just means putting _# at the 
end of the package version number of the developer release, and then 
releasing a version without the _# suffix when you're satisfied that 
it's safe to do so, so I can certainly handle that for any changes that 
I make.
