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?
