Yeah, I agree - my question was about what dist_author() should output, 
not what it should accept as input.  I've checked in a version of the 
patch that accepts an arrayref or string, and outputs an arrayref, just 
as yours did (I think).

You may want to take a quick look over the patches I put in today & 
yesterday, to make sure I didn't make any boneheaded changes.  Let me 
know if so.
