is broken. There was another page with a similar message. Last time it
was one of the first pages I visited, but I can't seem to locate it
again. Somehow I missed the "Enter the Database" link at the top and had
only visiting links near the bottom.

Ugh. That would be way too much work. The license on the Perl FAQ is nice
in that I didn't need to get any permission for what I was doing. Of
course, I wrote to both gnat and Tom out of courtesy, and gnat replied and
thought it was a good idea and said he approved. (I couldn't reach Tom
because at the time I had access to four servers that were capable of
sending mail and all four were on his list of mail servers that harbor
spammers and as such mail from any of them bounced back to me
unread. Ironically, four years later he wrote to me asking why I hadn't
considered hosting the list at perl.com, which would have required
contacting him.)

Cool. What's that?
