OpenBSD still claims 4 years without a remote hole in the default install. ISTR they had a couple of years without a local hole too, but that they found some other hole a less than a year ago so it was reset quite recently anyway.

Ah, good old "piracy is theft" analogy - what would we do without you? I think I'll start reloading that russian site until I've stolen all O'Reilly's copies of the Camel book - then I'll have a monopoly and can take over the world (of Perl)!

Compiling mod_perl on Debian
Hello everybody, I just moved to London from Stockholm, Sweden, so I joined the list.
