Something far less desirable than CPAN. Matt Wright wrote a bunch of buggy, insecure CGI scripts several years ago (guestbooks, etc) and then more or less abandoned them, AFAIK: timestamps on most of these cpan.org scripts seem to average 1998 or so, and some are even older than that. Some London.pm people started the NMS project [1] a year or so ago to create drop in replacements for Wright's scripts. His domain squatting cpan.org actually links to NMS, except that the link is, err: <http://www.cpan.org/index2.html>. Which looks like the *real* CPAN site. In fact, all the links seem to be to the real CPAN mockup page. Weird. And if you ask Google where CPAN is, it points to cpan.org.
