Bless you, that would be fabulous. I was not aware of the vmsperl.com domain; I would guess it's just someone parking on it. The sidhe.org site is owned by Dan Sugalski. I used to have access to it (maybe I still do) but I'm afraid I've never found time to do anything with it. I vaguely recall someone else volunteering to update it a few years ago, but that never happened. There are places to follow what's going on, such as this mailing list, or seeing what I've been up to in git history: <http://perl5.git.perl.org/perl.git?a=search&h=HEAD&st=author&s=craigberry>. But it would be very nice to have a simple, friendly site that would show up in web searches. The perl.org site is looking rather nice these days and I'd be willing to ask if we could get vmsperl.perl.org or perl.org/vmsperl and just use their stylesheets and so on. ________________________________________ Craig A.
