couple updates
did some massive changes to perlmod to include tim's new modules
file, but then trashed them. not sure what to do about this.
i don't know if there should be a 'man modstyle' or something
instead.

i'm also getting a bit tired of 'perlmod' being in section 1 rather
than in section 7 where it belongs. and that everything begins
with perlblah. but that's another battle.
