This is the debian package for the Apache::DB module.
It was created by Ivan Kohler <ivan-debian@420.am> using dh-make-perl
and is maintained by the Debian Perl Group now.

***

The official Apache::DB is missing a copyright statement.  Doug MacEachern
<dougm@pobox.com> wrote email in response to an inquiry:

> hi, you can distribute Apache::DB under the same terms as Perl itself.  i

The current maintainer Frank Wiles <frank@wiles.org> also writes:

The next version is expected to contain a formal copyright statement.

DB.pm (0.14) still contains no formal copyright statement but at least
