I don't have anything outstanding, but I do want to point out a fairly major 
problem (and this is more for Andrew) that should be addressed with a 
coldsync/palm-perl release:

p5-Palm isn't a well-behaved CPAN module. We (Palm:: module uploaders) 
really want to be able to reference p5-Palm as a dependency (PM_PREREQ) 
and, well, that just doesn't happen with the current CPAN version.  This 
breaks 'cpan install Palm::Blah' and causes the CPAN smoke testing to 
generate many erroneous test reports on perfectly good Palm:: modules.

Not sure what exactly needs to be done to fix it (it _looks_ sane to me), 
but I'd really like to see something sorted out in the 3.0 timeframe.
