another reason it never got off the ground is that it seemed
to make a lot of sense to actually use mod_perl to serve the
site, but from what i've heard, the powers that be on locus
aren't interested in adding it. checkpoint:

we thought about moving perl.apache.org to rubel, but we
never actually got around to it. ah well.
i'll reiterate a point i've made several times over the last
year - it would make sense to retire perl.apache.org and
build a couple new sites, one for developers and one for
advocacy. take23 seems to fill the latter role well, altho
i'd much rather see it named modperl.org, and the former
could well benefit from being on sourceforge (if they ever
fix their damn login problems, jeez).
