I've just updated the man perlpanel.pod document to describe how you
install applets. The next release has a neat little installer for
applets - I've got a screenshot here:

http://jodrell.net/projects/index.html/article/1096287256.html

It can be accessed from the Action Menu and from the Configurator. I
might even make it possible to drag-and-drop the tarball onto the panel
to install it.

I've updated the howto to explain this.

If possible, I'd prefer not to have the hassle of hosting these myself.
You can always set up a Geocities page or something to host your applet.

I might be persuaded to put a file upload on that page if enough people
ask me.

Thanks for the feeback,

Gavin.
