Just to stimulate conversation around the water cooler...... CPAN is mirrored on playboy.com . Now that is something to meditate on. :-)

I really enjoy the little white bunny in my 'Firefox' personal bookmarks! .... Now I can say "I read playboy for the articles" and really mean it too! .:\| If it can't be fixed .. Don't break it \|:.	[reply]

I'm just wondering if we need to start including our measurements and turn-ons in our CPAN profiles. And if we can get any bugs airbrushed out before being mirrored. -- We're looking for people in ATL	[reply]

Interestingly, the guy who put up the mirror goes around and actually comments on blogs and stuff. See Ask Bjørn Hansen or UtterlyBoring.com Oh, and speaking of Perlayboy, don't forget Acme::Playmate!	[reply]

Have you configured CPAN.pm lately? iirc, it's in the first batch of suggested mirrors. It's also conveniently located in Chicago* so it should be speedy. *(if Chicago is convenient to you...) -- jpg	[reply]

I wonder how many people won't be able to access this mirror because of corporate policies about viewing sites with 'adult content' .... I already know at least three who were not able to access this site! .:\| If it can't be fixed .. Don't break it \|:.	[reply]

Now if I could just get the braille edition of CPAN to go along with my braille Playboy... ;) Useless trivia: In the 2004 Las Vegas phone book there are approximately 28 pages of ads for massage, but almost 200 for lawyers.	[reply]

maybe this is why: "Perl core and CPAN modules documentation (Randy Kobes)" Food for thought, not fuel for flames.	[reply]
