64-bit: Missing perl modules

32-bit Cygwin has a 'perl_vendor' package, which contains a number of 
perl modules that are not present in 64-bit Cygwin. Specifically, I am 
interested in the following perl modules:

     Devel::Symdump
     Pod::Coverage
     Test::Pod
     Test::Pod::Coverage

These are all available in the 'perl_vendor' package in 32-bit Cygwin, 
but missing from 64-bit.

Reini: I am aware that you maintain these modules in the 32-bit 
distribution through the 'perl_vendor' package. I don't want to tread on 
any toes, and I don't know what plans you have for 'perl_vendor'. 
However, I would like to see these modules in 64-bit Cygwin, and would 
be happy to maintain them myself if you would prefer not to do so.

Please let me know how you would like to proceed. If you were happy for 
me to maintain these perl modules then I can send an ITP for four 
separate packages. These would be in 64-bit Cygwin only (unless 
'perl_vendor' was to become obsolete). Obviously, I would be equally 
happy for you to provide a 64-bit 'perl_vendor' if you thought that was 
the right thing to do.

Cheers,

Dave.
