Net-Dict (2.07)

Looks like a bit of fun to play with, but it's got some minor problems:

The dict script requires AppConfig::Std, but the Makefile doesn't require it during install.

It fails some tests. Not sure why, if it's because the test.dict.org server had changed, or if there's a genuine problem with the module.

Net-Dict (2.07)

I can only really comment on the installed command "/usr/bin/dict", that comes with this distribution. It's wonderful! I use it *every day* as I websurf. Sometimes it's fun to just read the jargon dictionary entries.

Hard to believe this module doesn't have more rave reviews.
