Is Cons alive?

I didn't find anything on freshmeat or search.cpan.org, and when
I went to the referenced debian site, I found a ".orig" tarball
(sometimes I'm _REALLY_ glad I don't have anything to do with
Debian), with file timestamps in November of 1996, with a perl
script completely undocumented except for a usage message (no pod,
even) and a postscript file created with Framemaker. The CHANGES
file documents work from August 24, 1996 through November 12,
1996. None of this inspires confidence.

I'll try and give that doc a read, but this really looks like one of
the projects that didn't survive its initial moments.
