Attached is a patch for each repo, they mainly contain
- typo fixes
- Artistic => PerlArtistic
- zlib => custom:zlib
- license="..." => license=(...) (aesthetic, but the license field 
should be a bash array)

The patches can be applied with `patch -Np1` (-Np2 for 
repo-current.patch) from /var/abs.
