=head3 How to sync a CPAN module with a cpanE<sol> distro
+In most cases, once a new version of a distribution shipped with core has been
+uploaded to CPAN, the core version thereof can be synchronized automatically
+with the program F<Porting/sync-with-cpan>. (But see the comments at the
+beginning of that program. In particular, it has not yet been exercised on

+and use of C<nmake> rather than C<make>).

+If, however, F<Porting/sync-with-cpan> does not provide good results, follow

I incorporated your feedback into commit b58fbdf and pushed it to blead. Given the work that you've been doing today and recently on Porting/sync-with-cpan, I think I'll defer discussion of the other bullet points in my original post until we/I get some experience with that program and synchronization in general.
