+=head2 merge common code in installperl and installman
+
+There are some common subroutines and a common C<BEGIN> block in F<installperl>
+and F<installman>. These should probably be merged. It would also be good to
+check for duplication in all the utility scripts supplied in the source
+tarball. It might be good to move them all to a subdirectory, but this would
+require careful checking to find all places that call them, and change those
+correctly.
